How to Watch
Tonight’s game is exclusive to FOX / FOX One in the United States. A quick note on MLB.TV: it remains an out-of-market product, and national broadcast exclusives — FOX, ESPN, Apple TV+, Peacock, Netflix — are not subject to a blackout in the traditional sense; they simply aren’t part of the MLB.TV package. Fans in market can access their local team’s stream through the MLB app (separate in-market subscription, ~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season, blackout-free locally).

- Atlanta Braves: 1-1 (.500)
The winner tonight takes a 2-1 series lead and will be one win away from advancing to the NLCS.
Starting Pitchers
- Dodgers — Yoshinobu Yamamoto (RHP): 14-9, 2.53 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 182 strikeouts in 185.0 innings
- Braves — Chris Sale (LHP): 14-9, 2.16 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 200 strikeouts in 162.2 innings
What to Watch For
Both starters finished the regular season with identical 14-9 records, so the edge comes down to the finer numbers. Chris Sale holds the ERA advantage at 2.16 with a dominant 200-strikeout season, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto counters with a razor-sharp 0.87 WHIP — the best of the two — suggesting he’s been nearly untouchable when it comes to limiting baserunners. Command and efficiency will be the story in what figures to be a low-scoring, high-stakes Game 3.
This article will be updated after the final out with the result, key plays, and a video recap.
