Dodgers Tap Skubal For NLDS Game 1

The Dodgers' decision comes after Skubal joined the team midseason from Detroit and initially struggled before finding his form. The lefty finished the regular season with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts for the two-time defending champions.

His expected start could allow Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Blake Snell to take the mound for Game 2. The Dodgers (93-60) are in the postseason for the 14th consecutive season, while the Braves' starter remains uncertain, presumably Chris Sale. esporist.com
