Braves Today

The Braves return home struggling while the Dodgers arrive on a six-game win streak, setting up three marquee pitching matchups: Tyler Glasnow vs Bryce Elder, Roki Sasaki vs A.J. Smith-Shawver, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs Chris Sale. The episode breaks down Atlanta’s offensive concerns, LA’s dangerous lineup, Glasnow’s workload and the Dodgers’ bullpen, and three keys for Atlanta: capitalize early, avoid free baserunners that turn solo shots into crooked innings, and preserve the bullpen. It also revisits Atlanta’s May series win in Los Angeles and what different outcomes would mean for October confidence.

The Braves lost two of three to the Brewers, staying close in every game but failing to create the breaks needed to win, despite strong pitching that allowed just eight runs. Lindsay Crosby highlights key miscues and explains a controversial Matt Olson error. Looking ahead to the Dodgers, he argues for making Mauricio Dubón the primary shortstop, sending Jim Jarvis back to Triple-A, and considering roster moves before the September 1 eligibility deadline. He also suggests giving Sean Murphy more starts for his defense, game-calling, and potential offensive upside, with Drake Baldwin at DH.

The federal and SEC scrutiny surrounding Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter’s insurance empire is not merely a story about a wealthy sports owner’s private finances. Statutory filings indicate that the company behind SportsNet LA carries substantial debt held by life insurers tied to members of Dodgers ownership. That creates a serious baseball question: could interest expense inside the media company reduce the revenue MLB attributes to the Dodgers, while interest income lands elsewhere in the broader ownership ecosystem? The mechanism is plausible, but the public evidence does not yet prove that MLB’s revenue-sharing base was reduced.

Smith-Shawver for a start vs Minnesota, continuing recent bullpen churn after Danny Young’s DFA and highlighting a plan for an October staff built around multi-inning, multi-pitch relievers plus leverage “stuff” arms.
