Pitching
The Dodgers are starting Dustin May on the mound who’ll have his work cut out for him against a red-hot Braves lineup. This postseason, May has only pitched 4.2 innings. The Dodgers will probably have to rely on their bullpen pretty early in the game.
The Braves have yet to announce a starting pitcher.
