Two World Series contenders collide on Tuesday, Aug. 25, when the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers are in contention for the best record in baseball, while the Braves are trying to avoid a letdown late in the season. Both teams are in a great position to make the playoffs, but Atlanta has more competition within the division. The Dodgers are basically a lock to win the NL West, and they could have home-field advantage for the playoffs if they close the season strong.
