From 1991-2005, the Atlanta Braves made the playoffs every year and set an MLB record for most consecutive postseason appearances.
After the dust settled on the 2026 regular season, the Los Angeles Dodgers tied that unprecedented mark.
And, now, ironically enough, they’re tied once again after two close NLCS games.
Next up, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale’s elite National League clubs meet in a crucial third NLCS game this afternoon at Atlanta’s Truist Park that determines who takes a decisive 2-1 lead in this cutthroat best-of-five series.

“Both offenses are carrying their fair shares of frozen bats: Freddie Freeman entered Sunday hitting .167 over his final 18 regular-season games before homering, while Andy Pages is 0-for-7 this postseason and Tommy Edman is 0-for-5,” The Post noted.
“Ronald Acuña Jr. is 3-for-18 without an extra-base hit this postseason, while Matt Olson is 3-for-19 with seven strikeouts.”
Simply put, expect a pitcher’s duel (that won’t end in a tie). Yamamoto and Sale are built for this kind of big game.
