Preview Roundups

St. Louis at Atlanta 5:02 PM ET
The Atlanta Braves host the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in Game 5 of the National League Division Series, a fitting winner-take-all matchup after the teams split the opening four games in wild, dramatic fashion. The finale features a rematch of Game 2 starters Jack Flaherty for St. Louis and Mike Foltynewicz for Atlanta, and the Braves will look to jump-start an offense that squandered numerous chances to clinch the series in a 5-4, 10-inning loss in Game 4.
Washington at LA Dodgers 8:37 PM ET
The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in the Game 5 of their National League Division Series with Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman summing the situation up best. “Walker Buehler versus Stephen Strasburg, with Kershaw probably available in the 'pen,” Zimmerman told reporters after belting a three-run homer Monday to help force a deciding game. “This is why you play the game. This is what we live for.”
