The Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers face off on Monday in Game 1 of their National League Championship Series at Globe Life Field. 

The Braves first season in the playoffs was against the Miami Marlins and there were no issues coming away with a victory in the game.

Catcher Travis D’Arnaud has been the best offensive player this season hitting two home runs and driving in seven RBI’s. Dansby Swanson has also hit two home runs and driven in five RBI’s. In this game the offense is going to need to be really good. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Dodgers who played against the San Diego Padres in their first series of the playoffs and they had no issues coming away with three victories. In the last game it was the offense that ran up the score putting up 12 runs and that led to an easy victory. The Dodgers have used a balanced attack with their offense and eight different players have driven in at least two RBI’s. The leader has been Cody Bellinger who has driven in five RBI’s.
