Major League Baseball division series action gets underway with every National League postseason matchup broadcast live on TVA Sports 2 from start to finish. Tuesday’s opening slate brings high-stakes playoff baseball directly to viewers, featuring contenders meeting on the field.
Dodgers Host Braves in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Dodgers open their postseason run at home against the Atlanta Braves, who advanced past the Philadelphia Phillies in the opening round of the playoffs. Left-handed pitcher Tarik Skubal is expected to take the mound for the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers, while the Braves had not yet named their starting pitcher as of Tuesday morning.
Atlanta enters the series holding a strong regular-season edge over Los Angeles, having claimed five of six head-to-head meetings. The two franchises last met in postseason play during the 2021 National League Championship Series, where the Braves ultimately prevailed.
Los Angeles star Shohei Ohtani continues to manage right biceps and left knee physical concerns as the postseason opens. The Japanese player will not pitch during this round of the playoffs, focusing instead on regaining his top form for the Dodgers.
Brewers Welcome Padres to Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Brewers enter the division series carrying the best regular-season record in Major League Baseball, hosting the San Diego Padres in Milwaukee. Right-hander Jacob Misiorowski gets the start on the mound for Milwaukee, squaring off against San Diego left-hander Robbie Ray.
San Diego advanced by eliminating the Chicago Cubs in two games earlier in the week during the first round of the series.
