From what I understand, Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis will join former Braves great John Smoltz in the booth to call these games on television. Furthermore, Chris Berman and Rick Sutcliffe will call the games on the radio for ESPN. As for the Dodgers radio network - postseason games can be heard on AM 570 LA Sports and in Spanish on Univision 1020 KTNQ. Dodger coverage starts 90 minutes before each game on Dodgers Facebook Live, with Dodger Insider followed by SportsNet LA’s Leadoff LA and Access SportsNet: Dodgers.
