There will be a lot of familiar faces on offense, with only one change between the two teams from Friday, with two young star pitchers on the mound
The Braves are running with their current regular lineup, as they hope to even the series against the Dodgers. Sean Murphy continues to get the lion’s share at catcher, Alex Verdugo continues to lead off and play left field, Eli White gets another start in right, and Nick Allen has seemingly cemented himself as the starting shortstop for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are leaving Hyeseong Kim on the bench, despite him being called up for the injured Tommy Edman. They roll with almost the same lineup as Friday night, except for Chris Taylor replacing Miguel Rojas at second base and batting ninth.

Tonight’s game is nationally televised on big FOX and is set to start at 7:15 PM ET, being played in Atlanta. Check out more on the pitching matchup in the game preview here. It should be a fun pitching matchup to watch, with the talented but struggling Roki Sasaki and the Braves’ own young star Spencer Schwellenbach.
Weather may be factor though, as the forecast around 7 does not seem promising. We may end up with something closer to a pacific time start. We will be here with weather updates as needed.
