Dodgers To Employ Bullpen Game In Wednesday's NLDS Game 4
1 month agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that the team will go with a bullpen game in Wednesday's National League Division Series Game 4 against the Padres, per Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett. The Dodgers currently trail 2-1 in the series, so the team must feel that a bullpen-heavy approach will give them the best chance to avoid playoff elimination. The Dodgers' pitching staff currently has the highest post-season ERA at 7.27 with a 1.35 WHIP. 27-year-old Landon Knack is the only starter on the NLDS roster who has yet to pitch, but he has just 69 innings of work in his big-league career, none of that coming in post-season play. He could be a sneaky DFS play in the event that the Dodgers turn to him as a bulk reliever, but the safer play would be to go with a declared traditional starter.
