Ulio Urias met the Braves in June. He played, and won! He threw five frames of one-run ball. And he struck out five people. The Dodgers expect him to do that again! The current Braves have a .563 OPS in 23 at-bats against Urias. The Dodgers will face Smyly on the mound. He has allowed exactly three earned runs in six of his last eight starts.

The Dodgers’ bullpen is doing well right now. They have a 2.19 ERA and 3.94 FIP in the last two weeks. The Braves offense is one of the most dangerous in the majors, but this matchup will be hard because Julio Urias and his relievers are pitching too.
