Why will they win Game 1: The Braves avoided playing in an elimmination game as they won the NL East division easily about 2 weeks ago. The Dodgers are just coming off a win versus the Colorado Rockies on Monday night to win the NL West. The Braves have been resting their bullpen and lineup for 4 days now and should have the advantage as the Dodgers only had 3 days. To start off the series, the Atlanta Braves travel to Los Angeles for the first 2 games. Then, the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to Atlanta for the next 2 games. If necessary, the tiebreaker game will take place in Los Angeles next Wednesday, October 10th. Mike Foltynewicz will start Game 1 for the Braves and Hyun-Jin-Ryu will start Game 1 for the Dodgers. Look for the Atlanta Braves to jump out to early lead and maintain it throughout the game. Hyun-Jin-Ryu has an ERA of 2.81 in the postseason for the Dodgers in 3 games. The Braves, on the other hand, haven't played in a postseason game since 2013. This is a young Braves squad with not a lot of postseason experience but I don't think that will hold them back of a solid game one victory.

Predicted Game 1 score: Braves 6, Dodgers 3
