Who is starting for the dodgers tonight

Manager Dave Roberts has employed bullpen games multiple times in this year's postseason, both by design and because of circumstance, and he may have another one on his hands for Game 6 of the NLCS on Saturday after it was reported Friday that right-hander Max Scherzer would not make his scheduled start. Other reporters followed with similar information. According to Castillo, the first indication that Scherzer wouldn't start Saturday was when the Dodgers canceled the customary media appearance for the following day's starting pitcher after arriving in Atlanta on Friday night.

Scherzer, 37, has been used a lot in the past two weeks. After that appearance, he said his arm was "dead" after pitching on three days' rest.

Los Angeles will have a healthy ace back at the top of the rotation, plus they hauled in another lefthander with ace-type potential.

In the middle of these two veterans is possibly the best young pitcher in baseball. LA will be tracking towards wins again. The question may only be how long it will take them to get there. The talent is there, but will the Dodgers be able finally to realize their potential?

There are a lot of expectations for this lineup to produce big numbers, and it is hard to see a reason for not doing that. Adding Mookie Betts and now signing him for the next decade is going to be another lethal bat in the lineup.

They are also extremely balanced with good contact guys like Justin Turner and Betts, but also have power with Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy.

Turner and Betts also still have power. Catcher won't be as strong, but Will Smith is expected to be the full-time guy. He also has some pop. With a loaded outfield, the new rule is going to help give more at-bats to Pollock. He is especially strong against left-handed pitching. Mookie Betts is going to hit first or second in order for the Dodgers. Betts usually fluctuated between the two spots while playing in Boston. He is more likely to hit second but will rotate. Cody Bellinger plays center field for the Dodgers.

Given he is able to play multiple positions, he might see a game in right field or at first base. Bellinger has great defensive numbers in the outfield and a strong arm. While they weren't playing in Los Angeles, the Brooklyn Dodgers were loaded with talent. They have not had too many bad teams in their history, but this is by far their worst. They had a total WAR of just Zack Wheat is a Hall of Famer who played with the Dodgers from to He hit over.

Wheat just missed the 3, hits club. He was more of a contact bat and didn't hit for much power. Fantasy Football. FanDuel FanDuel Sportsbook. DraftKings DraftKings Sportsbook. Dodgers Lineup. Depth Chart. Matchup ATL. Braves Lineup. Los Angeles Dodgers.
