Probably Gonsolin in game 1, Buehler game 2, then Scherzer and Urias in LA. Sets up nicely for the Dodgers, think they win it in 6.

So by rule, the Braves get home field advantage because they won their division despite finishing 18 games worse than the Dodgers. Does that mean that any of the 3 division winners (all finished with less wins than LA) in the AL would get HFA vs LA in the World Series?

Who gets home field in the World Series?

Hosting privileges for the 2021 Fall Classic will go to the team with the best regular-season winning percentage.

Go Braves! Dodgers have their number and this series is no different. Not having Acuna really hurts, here. Big Blue advance in 5.

 

[southsideIrish]

Everything says Dodgers in 5-6, but it's baseball so Braves in 7.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Dodgers in 4

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Dodgers in six.

Dodgers in 6.

It seems Scherzer is starting tonight.

lol like it even matters. The Braves could play all 7 games against the Dodgers in Atlanta and still find a way to lose as we're the Dodgers bitch until we prove otherwise.

 

[Halladay]

Shit, if I were still in Atlanta I would have tried to make it to one of these games. I think this will be a good series.

Would be nice to see some new blood in the WS.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Still funny that the Dodgers don't have homefield against a team they're 18 games better than.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

I think it's insulting that the Dodgers have a much better record than the Braves, yet don't have home field advantage just because they didn't win their division.

It's time MLB (and the NFL for that matter) strip playoff seeding priority from division winners. Getting in the playoffs alone is reward enough for winning your division. The NBA says so.

 

[Terry Yake]

bickford was cruising along. Don't get why roberts would take him out so soon

 

[Halladay]

That is one of the dumber baserunning plays you will see from Taylor, Betts was up next...

Unbelievably bad considering the difference between being on 2nd base and 3rd base in that situation is minimal.

 

[Canes]

Duvallesque baserunning by Taylor.

 

[Canes]

AUSTIN MOTHERf***ING RILEY!

 

[Halladay]

Braves take game 1, that was fun.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Riley!

Braves get a W they had to have.
