The Los Angeles Dodgers are shaking things up for the final game of their three-game series against the Atlanta Braves at Dodger Stadium, resting two key stars as they aim to secure another series win. After a strong opening victory, the Dodgers' offense hit a speed bump on Saturday, managing just two runs—both courtesy of a ninth-inning Andy Pages homer. Now, they're turning to a red-hot pitcher to right the ship.

Justin Wrobleski takes the mound for his sixth start of the season, and he's been nothing short of spectacular. With a microscopic 1.25 ERA over 36 innings, the left-hander has been one of the Dodgers' most reliable arms. Even more impressive? Los Angeles hasn't lost a single game when Wrobleski starts, and they'll be counting on that streak to continue in Sunday's finale.

The lineup features some notable adjustments. Shohei Ohtani leads off as the designated hitter, followed by Freddie Freeman at first base. Andy Pages—fresh off his clutch homer—moves up to the third spot, while Kyle Tucker cleans up in right field. Max Muncy holds down third base and bats fifth.

In the outfield, Alex Call gets the nod in left field, replacing Teoscar Hernandez, and will bat sixth. Behind the plate, Dalton Rushing steps in for Will Smith, batting seventh. Hyeseong Kim handles shortstop in the eighth spot, and Alex Freeland rounds out the order at second base.

On the other side, the Braves counter with Bryce Elder, who has been equally formidable this season. Sporting a 2.02 ERA through 49 innings with 45 strikeouts, Elder has emerged as one of Atlanta's top starters. The Dodgers face a tough challenge, but with Wrobleski on the hill and a revamped lineup, they're poised for an exciting showdown.

First pitch is set for 1:10 p.m. PT at Dodger Stadium. Will the Dodgers keep their unbeaten streak with Wrobleski alive, or will Elder silence their bats? Grab your gear and get ready for a series finale you won't want to miss.
