Dodgers Tickets 28% Below Average For Series vs Braves
In what might be the most impactful series of the week, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves are playing a three-game series. The two teams met in the NLDS last season with the Dodgers advancing in four games, and now both teams are firmly in the playoff race. The Dodgers schedule has been filled with important series recently, having just played division rival the San Francisco Giants. A sweep has given the Dodgers the NL West lead, and now they have to hold off a good Braves team. Dodgers tickets are averaging $31.67 on the secondary market for the series for a 28 percent decrease from their season average.
7/29 ATL Aaron Harang vs. LAD Josh Beckett | Avg. Price: $37 | Get-in Price: $17
The famous Dodgers play-by-play man will be honored at the first game with a Vin Scully replica microphone giveaway. Dodgers vs Braves tickets for the game are averaging $37 and have a get-in price of $17, which is easily the highest of the series. Josh Beckett takes the mound for Los Angeles in the first game, and 18 starts into the season it seems safe to say his stellar start was no mirage. Beckett has a 2.52 ERA and a 3.09 K/BB ratio.
7/30 ATL Travis Wood vs. LAD Zack Greinke | Avg. Price: $21 | Get-in Price: $3
The following game is the cheapest of the series and the only game without a promotional giveaway. Dodgers vs Braves tickets for the game are averaging $21 with just a $3 get-in price. Zack Greinke starts for the Dodgers, and has been worth the hefty contract he signed. He has a 2.74 ERA, 2.4 WAR and is tied for the team lead with 12 wins. He’d be the ace on pretty much any other staff.
7/31 ATL Julio Teheran vs. LAD Clayton Kershaw | Avg. Price: $37 | Get-in Price: $5
The best pitching match of the series is on the last game. Clayton Kershaw has been incredible once again this year. The only reason he won’t win the Cy Young is if voters hold his early season injury against him. Julio Teheran opposes him for the Braves, and Teheran has been great with a 2.71 ERA in a team-leading 149.1 innings pitched. He also leads the team with a 2.4 WAR. Fans will also receive a bobblehead of the team’s original 30 HR Club members. Tickets are averaging $37 for the game with a $5 get-in price.
