Game 38 Thread: May 8 vs. Braves, 7p

Emmet Sheehan (2-1, 5.23) vs. Chris Sale (6-1, 2.14).

The Braves lead the National League, thanks largely to the bats of Matt Olsen and breakout star Drake Baldwin. The Braves are the only NL team with a larger run differential, and unlike us and our miniscule one-game lead over the Padres, the Braves have an eight-game lead on the second-place (sub-.500) Nationals.

If there's any hope for the Dodgers in this series opener, it's that Chris Sale's worst start of the year came in a game in Anaheim, a 6-2 loss to the Angels where he lasted only 4.0 IP. Let's see if we can benefit again from Sale away.
