LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are starting left-handed pitchers — Tarik Skubal on Saturday, Blake Snell on Sunday — in each of the first two games against the Braves, a team that did not hit left-handers well this season at all. But with those southpaw starters, the Dodgers also pared down their bullpen to just […]

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers for Game 1 of the National League Division Series will have their planned nine starting position players together in the lineup for only the second time in 2026, a product of the timing of a few overlapping injured list stints throughout the season.

Dodgers have advantageous pitching matchup to open playoffs
It’s only fitting that the team with the pressure of living up to astronomically high expectations would debut in the playoffs in a game in which the victory appears to be the only plausible result. In a single baseball game, anything can happen, but one could hardly manufacture a more lopsided pitching scenario if they […]

The Decennial of Vin Scully’s Swan Song

This year the Dodgers might have melded the two heading into October. “We have a lot of really talented […]
