Realistically, the Dodgers have 2 maybe 3 guys that they could go with in their first game of the playoffs. The decision will ultimately come down to Walker Buehler and Max Scherzer though, 2 guys that have dominated for decent portions of the year.
But when asked about who could possibly go in the first game of the postseason, Dave Roberts didn’t hesitate. The Dodgers will no longer go to Clayton Kershaw for the first game as they have for the last near-decade, and they won’t go to Buehler.

Instead, Doc made it pretty clear the Dodgers would turn to Scherzer to get the ball rolling.
