The Dodgers and Braves have combined for four of the last six World Series titles, and the Dodgers are chasing MLB’s first three-peat since the Yankees won three straight from 1998 to 2000.

Let’s check out the Dodgers-Braves divisional series odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Oct. 2, along with what to know about the matchup. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated.

The Dodgers and Braves have met four times in the postseason since 2013. Los Angeles won the 2013 and 2018 NLDS, both 3-1, then rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win the 2020 NLCS in seven games en route to a World Series title. Atlanta got its revenge in the 2021 NLCS, winning 4-2 on its way to a championship of its own.

L.A. enters the postseason having won eight of its final 10 regular-season games after an 18-7 record in September. Meanwhile, the Braves went 12-12 in September but beat their NL East rival Phillies in Game 3 of the wild-card series to advance to the NLDS.
