The Post’s experts Dodgers-Braves, Padres-Brewers NLDS predictions

Atlanta spent six regular-season games proving it can bloody the two-time champs, but October has handed the Dodgers a rested four-headed rotation while the Braves arrive at Dodger Stadium with their pitching staff held together by tape, adrenaline and Chris Sale's overworked left arm. I think Atlanta steals a game at home, but the Dodgers' pursuit of a three-peat will survive its first series punch, facing either a rematch with Milwaukee or a heated rivalry with their neighbors to the South.

The Braves can be dangerous, but their pitching (Chris Sale, especially) has already been worn down. If the Dodgers look anything like they did in September, they'll be on to the NLCS.

The Dodgers will look to make a statement in their opening round on the road to their three-peat . Even if their bats struggle, I trust their starting rotation.
