The Atlanta Braves had a scheduled off-day on Thursday and will return to action on their home field at Truist Park tonight with the first of four National League games versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Spencer Schwellenbach will be the starting pitcher for Atlanta, while Landon Knack will be on the mound for LA. First pitch is slated for 7:20 pm. That game will not be broadcast on WLAQ 1410 AM/96.9 FM due to our coverage of high school football. Tune into WLAQ for the play-by-play story of the remainder of the series from the Atlanta Braves Radio Network.
The Braves head into this series with a record of 79-67 on the 2024 regular season and in third place of the NL East, nine games back from the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies. They are one game behind the New York Mets for the final NL Wild Card. The Dodgers are in first place of the NL West at 87-59.
