"Snell had 10 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings in Game 1 on Oct. 13. He became the first Dodgers pitcher to complete eight innings while allowing one hit or fewer in a postseason game. Yamamoto pitched a three-hitter in Game 2 with the first Dodgers postseason complete game since 2004. Roberts said the team hasn't decided on starters for Games 3 and 4, which will be back at Dodger Stadium, but indicated Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani could follow in that order."
"Snell, Yamamoto, Glasnow and Ohtani posted a 0.63 ERA against the Brewers, with two earned runs in 28 2/3 innings. Roberts said the bullpen lineup is still being discussed, with the Blue Jays' lineup featuring some right-handed power hitters that the Dodgers didn't have to contend with previously. "There's one spot that we could potentially kind of debate, and will continue to debate," Roberts said. "Outside of that one spot, it's probably going to look exactly the same.""
Blake Snell will start Game 1 and Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start Game 2 for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays. The same rotation started Games 1 and 2 of the NLCS sweep of the Brewers. Snell recorded 10 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings and allowed one hit or fewer in that postseason outing. Yamamoto threw a three-hitter and recorded the first Dodgers postseason complete game since 2004. Starters for Games 3 and 4 remain undecided, with Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani possible in that order. Dodgers starters combined for 35 NLCS strikeouts and a 0.63 ERA. Bullpen construction remains under review, and reliever Tanner Scott is eligible pending medical clearance.
