Thoughts on first two Dodgers-Braves NLDS games

The Dodgers starting rotation is their biggest advantage , which is one reason Sunday night was so frustrating. Blake Snell was up against a bullpen game, but flung the Dodgers into their own relief parade with a slog of a start, wading through the muck with five walks and 90 pitched in only 3 2/3 innings . That was undoubtedly bad, but also the Dodgers as a team only allowed three runs in Game 2, the same as they allowed in Game 1's win .

That's a winnable game, but the offense wasn't up to the task, facing a slew of Atlanta relievers with standout performances over the two days.

Prior to Game 1, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked how the Dodgers could capitalize on facing a slew of Braves relievers instead of starting pitchers.
