Dodgers Start Skubal in NLDS Game 1

The Dodgers have reportedly chosen Tarik Skubal as their starting pitcher for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. The left-handed ace, acquired midseason from Detroit, will take the mound at Dodgers Stadium on Saturday despite initial struggles after joining the team.

Skubal finished the regular season with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts for the Dodgers. The two-time defending World Series champions are in the postseason for the 14th consecutive season. His start could potentially allow Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Blake Snell to start for Game 2 against the Braves. liveiplscore.homes
