Thanks to Justin Turner’s blast on Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers were able to even the score with the Milwaukee Brewers and walk away from Miller Park with a split. Tonight the venue switches to Chavez Ravine for Game 3 of the NLCS. The Dodgers are expected to turn to their rookie flame thrower, Walker Buehler. The young upstart had a stellar year, going 8-5 in the regular season with a 2.62 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP. He did have a hiccup in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Braves but, in his last 12 regular season starts, he had an ERA of 1.55 and held batters to an average of .158. Now that is dominance. The Brewers are expected to counter with Jhoulys Chacín. Chacín went 15-8 in the regular season, with a 3.50 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and was dominant against the Rockies in his last turn, pitching 5 scoreless innings. However, Chacín took the loss in his last start at Dodger Stadium when the Dodgers steamrolled the Brewers, 21-5. The Dodgers are 4-1 in Buehler’s last 5 home starts and 8-2 in their last 10 playoff games at the Ravine. Dodgers get it done.
