Braves Announce Start Times for First 2 Games of NLDS Against St. Louis Cardinals

You ready to party at SunTrust, Atlanta?

Dallas Keuchel and Miles Mikolas (???) are set to face off in Game 1 of the NLDS on Thursday, and following the thrilling conclusion of the NL Wild Card Game on Tuesday night, we now have our start times.

You might want to ask out of work a little early for this pair.

Yup, that's two mid-week, non-primetime affairs in Atlanta, meaning a lot of office work might be impeded slightly before closing time.

Perhaps that's to Atlanta's advantage, though? Primetime feels like a postseason affair, but these daylight games... perhaps there's some extra mental fortitude necessary to get "up" for something that sort of feels in the midst of the sleepy part of the afternoon. Hat tip to Dallas Keuchel; he'll be ready.

Following these first two contests, this series will shift to St. Louis on Sunday, serving as an important break in a deluge of football. If Atlanta plays their cards right, they could be looking to sweep under cover of the NFL.
