The Atlanta Braves remain undefeated in series this season, while Chris Sale and Aaron Nola prepare for a crucial matchup.
Right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the ace of the Dodgers all year long, is taking the mound for LA. He went 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA and 201 strikeouts across 173.2 innings in the regular season. He then pitched against the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of the Wild Card - also a closeout game for LA - allowing zero earned runs (but two unearned runs) with nine strikeouts across 6.2 innings pitched.
