Should the Atlanta Braves win the wild card series, they will go on to face the No. 2-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS. The Dodgers went into Sunday looking for their 100th win of the season, coming behind only the Milwaukee Brewers who have 102 wins. It’s a tough path for Atlanta, but those hypothetical NLDS tickets are already on sale. Game 1 and Game 2 would take place in Los Angeles, before Game 3 and a potential Game 4 would move back to Atlanta, and a final, potential Game 5 would be hosted in LA.
