    Bowman seems to think a lefty vs Dodgers is no longer a given: "Back when Newcomb came within a strike of no-hitting the Dodgers on July 29, Los Angeles was producing middle-of-the-pack production against left-handed pitchers. But the Dodgers have produced an NL-best .861 OPS against southpaws and an .812 OPS against right-handers dating back to Aug. 15. Funny how things can drastically change after you acquire Manny Machado and welcome back a healthy Justin Turner.

    The Rockies have produced a .720 OPS against right-handed pitchers and a .794 OPS against lefties. Their struggles against righties have increased as they've constructed a .692 OPS against them since the All-Star break.

    Given that Los Angeles no longer shows a weakness with these splits and Colorado has had its most success against lefties, I would project Teheran to be the Game 4 starter regardless of the opponent.

    Those of you wondering whether Touki Toussaint might get that start, I'd say it's more likely to see him or Fried placed in the bullpen as a long-relief option. But if Teheran were to struggle Thursday night, I'm sure the Toussaint debate will deservedly pick up steam."
