Dodgers Have Starting Pitching on Schedule for NLCS Against Brewers
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expects Shohei Ohtani to improve his batting against left-handed pitchers after a .056 average in the Division Series, adjusting rotation for better rest.
- On Monday the Los Angeles Dodgers begin the NLCS opener with momentum and a rest advantage; Blake Snell starts Game 1, Yoshinobu Yamamoto Game 2, and Shohei Ohtani "will pitch at some point".
- Shohei Ohtani struggled at the plate in the NLDS, going one for 18 with nine strikeouts and logging just four plate appearances against right-handed pitching.
- Dodgers' starting pitching has been dominant in October, posting a 2.54 ERA with 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings while averaging 5.3 runs per game with 16 home runs.
- The club is counting on improved contributions from Shohei Ohtani as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he must recalibrate at the plate and expects a different offensive output this series.
- Milwaukee's NLDS extended to five games, testing its rotation as the Brewers averaged just 3.4 runs and face depth issues despite a 3.00 postseason ERA at American Family Field.
