The article discusses the upcoming Game 3 of the NLDS between the Braves and the Dodgers, focusing on the pitching matchup between Atlanta's Chris Sale and Los Angeles' Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Both pitchers have strong track records: Sale boasts a 1.96 ERA over his final 24 starts with 200 strikeouts, while Yamamoto has a 2.25 ERA in postseason appearances and a 1.77 ERA on the road this season. The article predicts a low-scoring game due to these strong pitching performances and suggests betting under 6.5 runs for the total score.

Story summary
The Braves and Dodgers are set to face each other in Game 3 of their National League Division Series. The Braves' pitching staff has been a key factor, with Chris Sale resting after helping clinch the Wild Card series against Philadelphia. Six bullpen arms combined to limit the Dodgers to six hits and two runs in Game 2. For Game 3, Sale is expected to pitch despite not starting due to his strong performance late in the regular season (1.96 ERA over his last 24 starts with 200 strikeouts). He will face Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who boasts a road ERA of just 1.77 this season and was held back for Game 3 to keep him on schedule after pitching in a simulation game during the bye week. Both offenses have struggled recently, but the focus remains on these ace pitchers' ability to prevent runs easily.
