The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their dominance with a sweep over the Atlanta Braves, showcasing strength even amidst key absences. Shohei Ohtani's walk-off home run highlighted the series, while L.A.'s resilience was evident despite their stars not being at full strength. On the other hand, the Braves are grappling with a shocking offensive slump, failing to capitalize on early leads and struggling in nearly every hitting category, raising concerns about their playoff prospects.

Dustin May's return was a bright spot for the Dodgers, delivering a stellar performance after a long injury layoff. As the season progresses, his role will be crucial for L.A.'s rotation. Atlanta's injuries, including the loss of Jurickson Profar due to suspension and Spencer Strider's absence, have put further pressure on the team to find immediate solutions for their stagnant offense.
