Feels like a series that’s going to be way overanalyzed and overreacted to by the fanbases. Neither team is playing for much as there are clear advantages and disadvantages to both the 1 and 2 seed in the NL. Should be fun but these games are not going to be managed or approached like playoff games, despite the media buildup. I’m sure we will hear this “feels like a playoff series” 100+ times over the next 4 days.

Let’s also remember that the 2021 Braves were swept in LA in September. Would be nice to win 2 or 3 but these games are no more or less important than our series at home against the Pirates next week.

It’s important in the sense for NLCS home field advantage which I think ultimately decides who goes to the World Series… but that’s only if these two teams get that far, which we saw wasn’t the case last year despite having the two best records.

With that said, I think it’d be good for us if we at least split. Dodgers would have the upper hand psychologically if they take 3 games this weekend for a 5-2 season series.

Like I said a week ago, this series is really the closest thing we’ll have to meaningful baseball until the postseason, it’d be nice if we played accordingly.
