🔮 While Game 1 of the team’s NLCS rematch against the Brewers will kick off at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday night from American Family Field in Milwaukee, Game 2 on Monday will begin at 2 p.m. local time in Los Angeles –– similar to the late-afternoon weekday starts the Dodgers had in Games 3 and 4 of their NL Division Series defeat of the Atlanta Braves this week.
🔮 But when one potential change might have to do with Shohei Ohtani — the Dodgers’ biggest star and most troublesome question mark so far this postseason — then an exception on Wednesday night was warranted.
🔮 Alas, Friedman’s wish wouldn’t be granted.
🔮 Now, the Dodgers will await either the Milwaukee Brewers or San Diego Padres in the NLCS.
🔮 ATLANTA –– The Dodgers will be playing a man short for Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday.
🔮 Andy Pages, meanwhile, was dropped into the nine-hole, where he will look to build off a two-hit performance in Game 3 that snapped his previous 0-for-8 slump to start the series.
🔮 “I understand it will be a storyline, I get it,” Freeman told reporters before the start of this NLDS.
🔮 He knew that, at some point, he would be summoned to provide a boost for the two-time defending champions.
🔮 An inning later, however, the Dodgers would finally break through.
🔮 “Trying to chase slug tomorrow night might not be the right plan, given the starter,” Roberts said of Ohtani on Monday.
