By the time the Dodgers submit their NLDS roster on Friday morning, Oct. 7, they will have had nearly two weeks to comb through every potential permutation plus the ins and outs of their matchup against the Nationals.
Ultimately, on the final 25 there will probably be very few surprises. Here is a look at what I think the NLDS roster will look like.
Several of the questions can be answered by looking at how the players have been used by manager Dave Roberts. Josh Reddick for instance has started 35 of 36 games in right field against right-handed pitchers since joining the Dodgers, and the only such game he didn’t start was because of a late scratch with a jammed middle finger.
