Dodgers Game Today: Dodgers vs Braves Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV for Oct. 19 NLCS Game 3

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Game 3 against the Atlanta Braves in a not-unfamiliar spot, down 2-0 in an NLCS matchup where they were expected to be heavy favorites.

Ignoring all the off-field, non-quantifiable realities (the Braves have mojo; the Dodgers do not), this series has flipped on two walk-offs, but hasn’t yet reached its expiration. Los Angeles has both the pitching advantage in Games 3 and 4 and a more-than-solid chance to even things up in the blink of an eye, starting Tuesday afternoon.

Yes, we said afternoon. Why did we say “afternoon”? Anyone’s guess.

Rob Manfred’s MLB, everyone.

Dodgers Pitcher Today

The Dodgers will send Walker Buehler to the mound, who went 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA in 207.2 regular-season innings. In the postseason thus far, he carries a 3.38 mark across two starts in the NLDS, with the second coming on short rest at home. Now, he’s working with six days in between outings. Could make a difference.

He’ll be opposed by Charlie Morton, a postseason superstar over the past five years who emphatically ended LA’s World Series hopes back in 2017. Fun.

Dodgers vs Braves Prediction Today

This feels extremely simplistic, but what the heck: Los Angeles absolutely needs this game, and the Braves do not. Does Brian Snitker want to step on the Dodgers’ throats and effectively end this series in three games? Sure. But the incalculable, “Who wants it more?” factor will absolutely be subconsciously transferred to Los Angeles in this one.

Add in a well-rested Buehler, and we might not see a lot of bullpen in this one. 6-1 Dodgers, who live to see another day.
