The wait is over — we now know the Braves will face off against the L.A. Dodgers this Saturday at Truist Park as the National League Championship Series gets under way. At +500, Atlanta isn’t the favorite to win the World Series, but the Braves are favored to win the pennant.

The Braves have reached 12 previous league championship advancing to five World Series and winning one since 1966. By comparison, the Dodgers and Giants have each won three World Series in that time, having reached the NLCS 15 times and seven times, respectively. What are the odds you know the Braves playoff history to ace this quiz?
