Braves Prepare to Open Series vs Dodgers in Los Angeles

Despite Atlanta’s consistent success - they’ve won the NL East for each of the previous six seasons, twice making the NLCS and winning the 2021 World Series - the popular favorites this season is the Los Angeles Dodgers , thanks to their $1.2B shopping spree of an offseason.

But despite watching LA add reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani and starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow to their rotation, Atlanta’s the team with the best record in baseball at 20-9 thanks to some impressive pitching and the offensive heroics of designated hitter Marcell Ozuna. Their three-game series starts tonight, with veteranLF Jarred Kelenic

Morton’s making his sixth start of the year and coming off of the best one: seven scoreless innings against the Cleveland Guardians, with just one walk and four hits against six strikeouts. He faced LA twice last season, with widely different results: The first outing, on May 22nd at home, he gave up six runs on seven hits in five innings. He made up for it in the sequel, though, allowing only two runs on September 3rd in a shortened outing in LA.

If you’d rather just listen, the Dodgers radio broadcast is available on DodgersRadio AM570 & KTNQ 1020, while the Atlanta Braves Radio Network has the standard broadcast on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan and affiliates across Braves Country.
