The Los Angeles Dodgers have looked October-ready in these MLB playoffs. Los Angeles has yet to drop a game dating back to the wild-card series against the Cincinnati Reds, and now has a commanding 2-0 lead against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The NLDS is also heading back to Los Angeles, where game three will feature Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for LA, and Philly will start Aaron Nola. Max Muncy and Will Smith have both been dealing with injuries, but are not left out of the Dodgers' game three lineup.
Dodgers' game three lineup revealed
The Dodgers are set to take on the Phillies at 9:08 P.M. EST at Dodger Stadium. Here is Los Angeles's lineup:
1. Shohei Ohtani, DH
2. Mookie Betts, SS
3. Teoscar Hernandez, RF
4. Freddie Freeman, 1B
5. Will Smith, C
6. Kiké Hernandez, LF
7. Max Muncy, 3B
8. Andy Pages, CF
9. Tommy Edman, CF
SP: Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Will Smith has yet to start a postseason game, but has appeared in both NLDS games, and is in the five hole. Another semi-surprise is Teoscar Hernandez hitting third, as the Phillies are starting Aaron Nola, a right-hander.
However, it might be a chess move for Los Angeles, because southpaw Ranger Suarez is reportedly going to follow after Nola.
