2025 NLDS: Dodgers Starting Rotation Order For Matchup With Phillies
"That allowed the Dodgers an opportunity to set their starting pitchers as desired for the best-of-three against the Cincinnati Reds, and Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were instrumental in a sweep at Dodger Stadium. It put the Dodgers into the NL Division Series for a 13th year in a row, where the Philadelphia Phillies awaited them. Game 1: Shohei Ohtani By virtue of sweeping the Reds, the Dodgers were able to easily bump back Shohei Ohtani's postseason pitching debut to Game 1 of the NLDS."
"Game 2: Blake Snell Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Snell is scheduled to start against the Phillies in Game 2 of the NLDS. With that not being played until Monday, Snell is receiving five days of rest before taking the mound at Citizens Bank Park. Game 3: Yoshinobu Yamamoto The Dodgers theoretically could have opted to go with Yamamoto in Game 2 on traditional MLB rest, but that's not a schedule they've implemented with their Japanese phenom."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation became an immense strength for the team during the second half of the regular season and that's carried over into the playoffs thus far. Although the Dodgers faced the challenge of beginning their World Series title defense in the Wild Card Series by virtue of having the third-best record among National League division champions, they took some solace in having a healthy rotation for October."
The Los Angeles Dodgers leveraged a dominant, healthy starting rotation to carry momentum from the second half of the regular season into the playoffs. The rotation allowed the team to set starters optimally for the Wild Card Series, where Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered key starts in a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium. The sweep created scheduling flexibility that moved Shohei Ohtani's postseason pitching debut to Game 1 of the NLDS. Blake Snell is scheduled for Game 2 with five days' rest, while Yamamoto is being managed on a non-traditional rest pattern. Tyler Glasnow will begin the NLDS as a reliever and be available in Game 1.
