Braves vs. Dodgers NLDS Game 2 chat and discussion

The Atlanta Braves face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLDS, aiming to avoid falling into a 2-0 series deficit. Rather than starting ace Chris Sale on Sunday night as anticipated, Atlanta announced that relief pitcher Ray Kerr will serve as an opener, with Sale unlikely to pitch.

Los Angeles will start left-hander Blake Snell, who has shown strong form since returning in August from an injury-plagued regular season. Beyond Kerr, the Braves plan to rely on a gameflow-dependent pitching strategy to manage the remainder of the contest.
