Dave Roberts: Dodgers’ Lineup Versatility Allows Them To Match Up Well Against Openers

The Los Angeles Dodgers boast one of the deepest rosters in all of baseball, and to no surprise, have enjoyed one of their most successful offensive seasons in franchise history.

With National League MVP candidate Cody Bellinger leading the way, the Dodgers lineup has received a wide range of contributions from veterans such as Justin Turner and David Freese to rookies Alex Verdugo and Will Smith.

What makes the group even more dangerous is the versatility that affords Dodgers manager Dave Roberts a plethora of lineup possibilities on any given night. That equips the club well to handle any opposing pitcher tossed at them, whether it’s a traditional starter or an opener.
