there's almost always ad overlays, but usually totally fine after that. sometimes these have worked better for me than streaming on various legit apps due to the apps being garbage.
 
Looking at it objectively, there's not many arguments to be made for the Braves winning. But it's already been a great year. We've been in the Dodgers' position of heavy favorite multiple times and look how that turned out.
 
Anything can happen in a 5 game series. I think young teams do the best in the playoffs because they have more fire and urgency. Its less about a paycheck to them. They are many years from free agency. The Dodgers are the team with all the pressure on them.All the big payrolls and no championships to show for it so far.
 
The Dodgers are unquestionably the better team...but so were the Nats.

However, the Braves are a pretty good offensive team vs LHP, and the Dodgers will be starting a lot of LHP. I think that fact has been largely glossed over by almost everyone.

The Braves are certainly capable of winning 3 out of 5 games (all MLB teams are), and in a surprise season like this these next few days are all gravy anyways. I would have considered 80 wins a huge success, much less 90 and a division title. The thing to be most excited about is that the contention window is just now opening...finally.
 
We don’t get a lot of love over at The Athletic, but their Analytics Writer, Eno Sarris, is predicting that we make the WS and lose to the Indians in 6

What's funny is espn has a page that shows who the Braves who would be good or bad against on the possible matchups throughout the playoffs. They had the Braves doing good against the Cubs due to their lefties and how the Braves hit well against them. No mention of that regarding their matchup with the Dodgers though.

If it matters to anyone, none of the experts on ESPN or MLB.com are picking the Braves to win.

Yep and given the way it has opened, I'm actually expecting a contention window that is a little bit longer than the one I would have guessed before this season. I think we'll be a competitive ball club until at least 2023 unless something goes horribly wrong.
 
I think we will win game 1, lose game 2, lose game 3, win game 4, and have a deciding game 5 in Los Angeles. Hard to predict what will happen there.

LOL No problem predicting the first 4 games but game 5 is “hard to predict “. Just made me chuckle :)
 
Game 1: Braves 4 Dodgers 2, 10 innings. Solo home run by Albies. 2 run single by Fredito in the 10th.

Game 2: Braves 2, Dodgers 1. Yuge performance by Anibal.

Game 3: Dodgers 5, Braves 1. Ferris Buehler's nephew proves to be too much for the Bravos.

Game 4: Braves 4, Dodgers 2. Quality start by Julion. Bravos score 4 early and hold on.
