The Braves will start a seven-game West Coast swing tonight in Los Angeles, squaring off against Cody Bellinger and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Braves come into this game at 18-16, in second place in the NL East and 1 ½ games off Philadelphia’s pace. The Dodgers are 22-14 on the season, sitting in first in the NL West.
Kevin Gausman is coming off four straight ineffective starts - one of them coming just three days ago against Miami. Theoretically, he is due to right the ship, but he could have a tough time with this L.A. offense. The Dodgers will counter with stud righty Walker Buehler, who is having a rocky start to his season but is a threat to turn things around at any second.
First pitch isn’t slated until 10:10 ET, so hopefully that’s not past your bedtime. If not, join us in the comments for the duration of tonight’s game. Feel free to take advantage of all the handy and useful information we have assembled for you here:
