MLB Network compares the Braves and the Dodgers.

Who is better? Atlanta or L.A.?

Matt Vasgersian and Ron Darling sat down on MLB Network today as part of the MLB Hot Stove segment and they discussed which team looked better on paper, the Atlanta Braves or the Los Angeles Dodgers. It’s an argument that we are going to see a lot not only this year but for the near future. These teams finished as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the National League standings and have been at the top of the standings in the NL for years now.

During this offseason, the Dodgers made a splash by spending over $1 Billion to go out and get Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and more players to help bolster their roster. For the Braves, we went out and picked up a future Hall of Fame pitcher, Chris Sale, as well as Jarred Kelenic to help fill out an already loaded roster.

Matt Vasgersian is in agreement with Spencer Strider that “Despite what the Dodgers have done. I think soup to nuts, top to bottom, all 26, I give the Braves that award.Matt Vasgersian is in agreement with Spencer Strider that “Despite what the Dodgers have done.
