The Atlanta Braves open their National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, a best-of-five showdown that sends the club back to Dodger Stadium for the first two games before any potential trip home to Truist Park.

The matchup is part of the broader 2026 MLB postseason, which began September 29, with both division series kicking off this Saturday.
