The Los Angeles Dodgers are one win away from the next round. A 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday gave Los Angeles a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five National League Division Series.
A Tightly Fought Series So Far
With all four Division Series beginning over the weekend under the standard best-of-five format, every game so far has mattered. The Dodgers’ Game 3 win shifts real momentum their way heading into a potential series-clinching Game 4.
What’s at Stake
Winning a Division Series puts a team one step closer to the Championship Series, and ultimately the World Series itself, which is set to begin on October 23. For a Dodgers organization with high expectations every season, closing out this series efficiently would be an important statement as the postseason intensifies.
Coverage and What’s Next
The series continues with national coverage split across TNT Sports and the FOX family of networks, including FOX, FS1, FOX Deportes, and the newer FOX One platform. If Los Angeles can close things out, attention will quickly turn to who they’ll face in the next round, with the other Division Series matchups still being decided.
The Bigger Picture
Postseason baseball rewards teams that find another gear in October, and the Dodgers’ Game 3 performance is exactly the kind of statement win that can define a series. GUZ Sport will have the result of Game 4 as soon as it’s final.
