It’s too bad that TBS is televising the American League in 2016, because this NLDS between the Dodgers and Nationals features a battle of key players both named Turner.
Justin Turner has been an indispensable part of the Dodgers lineup for the better part of three years now, but this year was his healthiest and arguably his most productive in Los Angeles, especially in the last four months.
After June 6, the Dodgers third baseman was hitting just .223/.322/.326 with three home runs in 55 games. Since then, Turner hit .301/.348/.575 with 24 home runs, 26 doubles and 73 RBI in his final 96 games of the season.
