How will the Braves pitching staff plan to attack this Dodgers lineup today? @Ken_Rosenthal has the latest: https://t.c Via @MLBONFOX on X

What happened: Play was underway Saturday as attention centered on how Atlanta would sequence against the Dodgers lineup. The matchup had not broken open early.

Why it matters: That opening approach matters in a postseason matchup because pitch selection and location can shape early traffic before either side scores. A quiet first stretch keeps later pitching decisions live for both clubs.

By the numbers: 0-0: Atlanta and Los Angeles were scoreless with the game in progress.

What to watch: Watch whether the scoreless start holds as Atlanta continues through the Dodgers lineup.
