Probable Starters

According to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, Dylan Dodd has been named as the starter for Game 1. He will likely open the game, and another long reliever will follow to help them bullpen their way through the game.

Other games are still to be determined for the Braves. Chris Sale and Tyler Mahle will likely start Game 2 and/or Game 3, but it's all about seeing where they are at when it comes to rest, Sale's case, or injury, Mahle's case.

Manager Walt Weiss has already affirmed that they're not worried about Mahle's availability. His presence on the roster proves that point. However, that doesn't mean they won't wait until they have to to make a decision on future starters.

The Dodgers are rolling with back-to-back lefties to start the series. Tarik Skubal will be on the mound for Game 1, and Blake Snell will start Game 2.
