The Atlanta Braves entered this series against the Colorado Rockies with much confidence. They had just finished toppling a good Arizona Diamondbacks team for their first road series win of the season and were dealing with a Rockies squad that could end up going down as one of the worst teams to ever set foot on a diamond in MLB history.

The Atlanta Braves were heading into their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers with momentum. They were on a run of having four straight series wins and had just returned home from a productive road trip out West against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.
