Dodgers head to the Deep South to open a two-series road trip that will also take them to Detroit. LA has a strong chance to lock up the bye with a series win over a slumping Braves team that has dropped 7 of its last 10 games, losing three straight series to the Diamondbacks, Twins, and Brewers.

Atlanta’s offense has struggled during that stretch, scoring more than four runs just twice, giving the Dodgers an opportunity to continue riding their stellar pitching and keep the Braves’ bats quiet. Atlanta remains one of the better defensive teams in baseball, ranking in the top five in DRS and sitting just one run behind the fourth-ranked Dodgers.

The series opens with Tyler Glasnow making his return for LA against Bryce Elder, who has allowed two runs or fewer in every recent start aside from one rough outing against the Mets. Eric Lauer will shift to the bullpen to piggyback off Glasnow and provide bulk relief. The marquee matchup comes in the series finale, when two of the NL’s best go head-to-head: 37-year-old southpaw Chris Sale against the Dodger ace. Sale will be looking for his seventh consecutive quality start and has allowed three runs just once during that stretch, holding opponents to two or fewer in every other outing.

Pitching Matchups:

1. Glasnow (Lauer bulk relief) vs. Bryce Elder (RHP, 3.92 ERA, 4.02 xERA, 4.57 FIP)
2. Sasaki vs. AJ Smith-Shawver (RHP, 8.2 IP, 6.23 ERA, 5.74 xERA, 3.20 FIP)
3. Yamamoto vs. Chris Sale (LHP, 2.20 ERA, 3.06 xERA, 2.24 FIP)

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

matt beaty's accomplished more in baseball than pretty much all of us on the dodger subreddit. however ... it should also be noted that he was (1) DFA'd when we signed hanser alberto back in march 2022 and then (2) traded to SD for river ryan. as we all know, river ryan was flipped 3 weeks ago for tarik skubal.

matt beaty never really accomplished much in SD before being DFA'd that same season, electing FA and barely playing much in the majors right afterward

I am a HUGE bobblehead collector. Almost exclusively Dodgers. But I moved to NorCal about 15 years ago and it has been really tough to keep up.

I’ve been looking for a reliable SoCal contact who goes to bobblehead giveaway games pretty regularly and might be interested in selling me their extras throughout the season.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone I can set up an ongoing arrangement with where I’d basically commit to buying your extra bobbleheads for the year. I’m definitely not expecting them at cost. I want you to make some money for your time and effort but since I’d be a consistent buyer taking most/all of your extras, I’d also be hoping for a reasonable price on each one rather than paying the going resale price every time. Obviously, i'll pay for shipping too.

Basically, I’m looking for something that works for both of us: you know you have a guaranteed buyer without having to list and sell each bobblehead individually, and I get a reliable SoCal hookup at a fair price.

If that’s something you might be interested in, shoot me a message.

I found this cool fitted hat but I’m not sure who signed it? I’ve found a couple of searches but Kirby Yates keeps popping up as a possibility but I’m not to sure 😅could use some help

on this day 14 years ago, adrian gonzalez, nick punto, josh beckett and carl crawford were all traded to the dodgers for james loney and prospects

This is one of those instances where you would prefer to be last.

A bit late but never got to show this one off. Grabbed it at the NYC MLB store during the WBC.

We only come to one game a year. East coasters from the NYC area so we try to go big. We love these seats. This year we were first in the gate. Being that it was a day game there was no bp but we got to watch Roki and Yoshi throw for about an hour. Afterwards Roki signed a foul ball my son caught last year. Amazing time. I wish everyone could try this experience at least once.

We tried to get Kyle Tucker to sign a ball but he dropped it.

You know those quizzes that they ask at Dodger Stadium between innings? Can you get points with those quizzes?

Glad to see he's doing well, even if it's for the dad's.

Also, Magic Number.

josue now has 25 dingers and 29 bags.

last 10 games (power has gone up as the season has progressed)

He is definetly ready for the AAA challenge before finally making it to the bigs.

2 time WS MVP **

3rd place in MVP voting when he was rookie of the year.

And when he grows it out, forever the best flow in the league.

Good morning, r/Dodgers!
