""I couldn't feel more confident with the starting staff. And you know what, not to have a recency bias, but the last couple days with the 'pen, I feel really good about some things. The offense, the defense, has been fantastic. But the starting rotation, I'll pit us against anyone.""
""I wasn't on this staff when they had Kershaw and Greinke in '15. That was a pretty good one, with Ryu. This is as good of a starting staff as I've had going into the postseason, by far.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Cincinnati Reds in a best-of-three Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium, marking the franchise's 13th consecutive postseason appearance. The starting rotation is healthy after earlier injuries and could feature Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Emmet Sheehan and Roki Sasaki are expected to move into relief roles, bolstering bullpen depth. Manager Dave Roberts expressed strong confidence in both the starters and recent bullpen performances and praised the lineup and defense. The Dodgers plan to start Snell in Game 1, Yamamoto in Game 2, and potentially Ohtani in a deciding Game 3, with Glasnow available as a reliever or future NLDS starter.
