"The Los Angeles Dodgers knew they were poised to play in the Wild Card Series at the time of clinching the National League West last week, but their opponent was not determined until the final day of the regular season. That became the Cincinnati Reds, who lost to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, but received help from the Miami Marlins defeating the New York Mets."
"Dave Roberts said that Blake Snell is "a pretty good bet" to start Game 1 of the playoffs for the Dodgers - Jack Harris (@ByJackHarris) September 28, 2025 Once the Dodgers' decision is made official, Snell's postseason debut with the team is going to come on five days of rest. Overall, it's going to be Snell's 13th career playoff game and 12th start. He previously started a Game 1 three times for the Tampa Bay Rays, with each instance coming during the 2020 postseason."
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured the National League West and will host a Wild Card Series with the Cincinnati Reds after the regular season's final day tiebreakers. The Reds claimed the wild-card spot at 83-79 due to a head-to-head tiebreaker over the New York Mets, aided by Miami's victory over the Mets and Milwaukee's win over the Reds. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Blake Snell is a strong candidate to start Game 1 on Tuesday, likely on five days' rest. Snell will make his Dodgers postseason debut in his 13th career playoff game and 12th start. Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto remain options for Game 2.
