We’ve got a pair of National League Division games today!

First Game: Braves vs. Dodgers

• Series tied 1-1
• 5pm CST

This is the “I wish both teams could lose” series. The Dodgers are, well, the Dodgers, and the Braves are fine but definitely no San Diego or Milwaukee. God, can you imagine a Dodgers v Brewers NLCS with the Dodgers winning again? Gross.

Second game: Brewers vs. Padres

• Brewers lead 2-0
• 8:30pm CST

Man, I wish both teams could win here. The Padres are a blast and always little brothers to the more successful Dodgers, but on the other hand the Brewers are definitely the “Small Market Team” to beat in this year’s playoffs. The Brewers have a lead right now, but they have to clinch it in California.
