Keys to the Game
Blake Snell is the story on the mound. The Dodgers left-hander arrives at this playoff start with a 1.90 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP — elite numbers at any point in the season, let alone October. If he’s on, Los Angeles could be two wins away from the NLCS before the series even shifts cities.
For Atlanta, the math is simple: drop Game 2 and they head home facing a 0-2 hole. The Braves’ starter is still unannounced, which adds an extra layer of intrigue heading into first pitch.
