Dodgers vs Braves live stream is here: How to watch the NLCS Game 1 online

Today's Dodgers vs Braves live stream pits these two clubs against each other for the second straight year in the National League Championship Series. Last year it was L.A. beating Atlanta in seven games to advance to and win the World Series. The Braves will try for a different result this year and it all starts with this MLB live stream. 

The Braves found themselves leading the Dodgers, three-games-to-one in the NLCS last season, but weren't able to close it out. Instead, L.A. stormed back and took the series. Atlanta won the N.L. East this season, finished off the Brewers in four games in the divisional round and now get their chance at revenge on the Dodgers. 

Meanwhile Los Angeles, who went on to win their first World Series in 32 years, finished this season with the second best record in baseball, yet still had to play a wild card game against the Cardinals. After winning that they faced their division rival Giants and won that series in five games. Now, they go for back-to-back World Series titles and their fourth appearance in the Fall Classic in five years. 

The Dodgers NLDS against the Giants lived up to the hype. In fact, retired Dodgers play-by-play man Vin Scully called their game five, "the most important game in the history of their rivalry." The Dodgers went on to win 2-1, on a Cody Bellinger RBI single in the ninth inning. Mookie Betts had the biggest day for the Dodgers line-up with a 4-for-4 games five.

The Braves had different guys stepping up for them in their divisional series with the Brewers. Joc Pederson hit two home runs as a pinch hitter and drove in five RBI's. Austin Riley hit safely in all four games including a home run. He's bating .333 in the playoffs with a .375 on-base percentage.

Corey Knebel will open on the mound for the Dodgers tonight against the Braves' Max Fried. Knebel has made three appearances in the playoffs this year allowing just one hit over 2.1 innings.  This will mark Fried's second start of the postseason. The lefty tossed six scoreless innings against the Brewers in the Division Round striking out nine.
