The fact that we will only get Buehler once is nice. Kershaw has looked pretty beatable lately. Hill looked bad in early September, but his last two starts were dominant. He also had an incredible game against us in July. Ryu has looked unbelievable in the few starts that he has had this year. Stripling has looked great.
I don't know who all they plan to start, but that rotation is absolutely disgusting.
Another thing to keep in mind is that they are much better against righty pitching than they are against lefty pitching. They almost have an .800 OPS against righties, but only a .734 against lefties. Lots of lefties in the lineup. Machado has reverse splits. Puig has reverse splits. Do we have to consider trying to use Newcomb or Fried in the rotation instead of Teheran against them? Its not ideal, but I think you have to at least consider it.
This matchup is going to be really really tough for us no matter what.
Don't look now, but Jansen has given up back to back homers against Story and Arenado. Still probably not going to matter, but at least the game is interesting.
Adding Machado and a healthy Turner the last 1-2 months has made the Dodgers potent against LHP.
I would not start Newk against them in the NLDS.
We breaking some California hippies hearts this week.

With dodgers the west team and the big market, why haven't they already announced us as the late game?
