Story summary

Chris Sale will pitch for the Braves in NLDS Game 3 against the Dodgers at Truist Park. The Dodgers made significant lineup changes, including dropping Shohei Ohtani to the fifth spot to limit his exposure to left-handed pitching. Both offenses are struggling, with key players hitting poorly in recent games and this series. Sale faces Yoshinobu Yamamoto in what is expected to be a pitcher's duel. Game 3 starts at 6 PM ET on October 6th, available for free via DIRECTV's five-day trial or TV channel FS1. Prediction: The game will feature low scoring with strong pitching performances from both Sale and Yamamoto. Betting tip: Consider backing the Dodgers (-110) if you believe they can solve Sale's left-handed dominance. DirectTV offers a free trial for out-of-market viewing, enabling access to FS1 coverage.
