How To Watch the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the Atlanta Braves: First Pitch, Odds, And Streaming Details For Tonight

Q: How is the Braves' offense performing early in the 2025 MLB season?

With Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider out of the lineup, the team posted an abysmal .137 batting average to start the 2025 MLB season, and has improved but failed to crawl out of this hitting rut.

Q: Who are the key players to watch on the Los Angeles Dodgers?

Teoscar Hernández: MLB’s early RBI king (32) is slashing .310/.325/.621 with nine homers and has already racked up 1.3 WAR in just 29 games. Shohei Ohtani: The two‑time MVP owns a .393 OBP and seven long balls while swiping nine bases — unrelenting table‑setter for the L.A. juggernaut. Yoshinobu Yamamoto: His 1.06 ERA and 11.4 K/9 have given L.A. a true stopper. A crisp splitter makes him lethal the first time he faces Atlanta’s order.

Q: Who are the key players to watch on the Atlanta Braves?

Austin Riley: Leading the club in hits (35) and RBI (20) while posting a sturdy .464 SLG, Riley remains Atlanta’s most dependable run‑producer. Marcell Ozuna: A .437 OBP and .283 AVG show the DH is getting on base and doing damage (five homers) despite limited lineup support. Sean Murphy: The backstop’s thunderous .633 SLG and seven homers give the Braves a needed power surge in the middle innings.
