The 4-game series are always a spectacle guaranteed for the MLB fans since they can enjoy of very different pitchers’ profiles in a short period of time. With that in mind, next Saturday the second game of the series between Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers promises to be one of the most followed in the weekend, as much of the future of both teams depend on the results they collect in this last part of the regular season.

When looking at Atlanta Brave’s performance, it can be found that they currently are in the third spot of the NL East Division, and even when they’re 8.0 games behind Philadelphia Phillies, they just need to cover a 1 game gap to get into the Wild Card spots. With that clear objective in mind, the responsibility that Marcell Ozuna will have is gigantic, but unfortunately he has only been able to score 2 runs in his last 7 disputed games.

Los Angeles Dodgers’ case, this team remains 4.5 games above San Diego Padres in the NL West Division, so they must immediately recover after losing the first game of the series against Atlanta by 6-2. Nevertheless, they have ratified that their dependency on Ohtani is a real factor that is currently impacting on them as the last times the Japanese was nullified, they lost.
