ATLANTA — The Los Angeles Dodgers won Thursday night, so we now know It'll be a rematch between the Atlanta Braves and the pesky Dodgers.
The first game of the National League Championship Series will happen on Saturday at Truist Park.
The Braves took a 3-1 series lead last year in the NLCS against the same Dodgers, but ended up losing 4-3 in Game 7. They also faced one another in 2018 - and it, too, went the Dodgers way.
Tickets for the games in Atlanta remain available and start at $75.
The winner of this series will play in the World Series.
