A nail-biting victory against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 8th showcased Atlanta's ability to clutch victory from the jaws of defeat in extra innings. Despite matching hits with the Blue Jays at eight apiece, it was Atlanta's strategic play and a critical home run that sealed their win 4-3 in an 11-inning thriller. This game highlighted both strengths and weaknesses within ATL’s lineup and bullpen - aspects they must fine-tune before facing LAD.

However, not all recent outings have been as favorable for ATL. The game on September 7th saw them fall short against Toronto despite a late rally attempt in the ninth inning. Accumulating ten hits but only managing five runs due to two costly errors indicates lapses in fielding that cannot be afforded against a team like LAD.

Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports" /> The series opener against Toronto on September 6th painted a brighter picture for ATL’s pitching staff, particularly their starters who held TOR to just one run over nine innings despite two errors by ATL's defense. This performance underscores ATL’s potential when their pitchers are firing on all cylinders - a critical factor if they aim to suppress LAD’s hitters.

The Dodgers come into this matchup as formidable opponents with a reputation for explosive offense and solid pitching. However, based on recent performances by both teams and considering ATL's home advantage at Truist Park where they've historically played well this season, there is reason for optimism among Braves fans.

Offensively, capitalizing on scoring opportunities especially with runners in scoring position will be key – an area they've struggled with but showed promise during crucial moments.

This upcoming game is not just another regular-season fixture; it represents an opportunity for ATL to make a statement against one of MLB's elite teams. With strategic adjustments and focused execution, there is every chance that Braves can emerge victorious.
