After going heavy with left-handed hitters in the middle of the order for Game 4, the Dodgers are going back to a more normal order in NLCS Game 5.
With Max Fried, Ian Anderson and Bryse Wilson, the Atlanta Braves have developed a strong young core of players capable of reaching the World Series.
Dodgers leadoff hitter Mookie Betts has had significant struggles against left-handers and two of the next three hitters are left-handed. Corey Seager, the Dodgers’ No. 2 hitter, clubbed a three-run home run off Minter in Game 2, but he’s been better against right-handed pitchers in his career. The Dodgers will counter Atlanta’s bullpen effort with a traditional starter: Dustin May. The rookie right-hander hasn’t logged more than two innings in his postseason career. His only other playoff start came as an opener in Game 3 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres. He threw one scoreless inning. The 23-year-old then threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 1 of the NLCS.
