Dodgers’ Starters Dominate Brewers. Glasnow, Ohtani Will Try to Continue the Trend in NLCS
Manager Dave Roberts scheduled Glasnow for Game 3 and Ohtani for Game 4 to strategically space pitching starts during the NLCS at Dodger Stadium, with Dodgers' starters posting a 1.65 ERA.
- On Tuesday, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts announced Tyler Glasnow will start Game 3 and Shohei Ohtani will start Game 4 in Los Angeles on Friday.
- Dave Roberts said delaying Ohtani's start wasn't related to his hitting slump and noted, `Game 3, we feel that Tyler is on regular rest, so it kind of lines him up, as well,` adding Ohtani hasn't pitched since Oct. 4.

- Given Glasnow's recent form—three starts, 28 strikeouts in 21 innings—he's shaping the NLCS outlook as Dodgers hold a 1-0 series lead after Monday.
