"Left-handed pitcher Blake Snell is taking the mound for LA against fellow southpaw Jesus Luzardo of the Phillies. Snell went 5-4 this season with a 2.35 ERA and 72 strikeouts across 61.1 innings this year. Luzardo went 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA and 216 strikeouts across 183.2 innings. Snell pitched last week in Wild Card Game 1, throwing seven innings while allowing two earned runs with nine strikeouts."
""To have him catch four innings and then to potentially run that same playbook, certainly there's value to that," Roberts said Sunday. "But if he says that he feels great, there's no remnants of Game 1, it might be hard for me not to kind of pencil him in. But certainly there's potential upside in having him catch four or five innings."
Los Angeles seeks a 2-0 NLDS lead with left-hander Blake Snell starting against fellow southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Snell posted a 5-4 record, 2.35 ERA and 72 strikeouts in 61.1 innings; Luzardo went 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA and 216 strikeouts in 183.2 innings. Snell threw seven innings with two earned runs and nine strikeouts in the Wild Card game. Will Smith remains sidelined with a hairline fracture and could be available off the bench; Max Muncy is out with Miguel Rojas starting at third. Manager Dave Roberts is considering using Smith as a multi-inning catcher off the bench.
