The Dodgers walked away with a modest 4-3 record after facing two divisional teams. During the first 7 games of the season, Roberts used a different lineup in every game. It’s been highly documented that the Dodgers were planning on platooning their lineup based on the opposing starting pitcher. But 7 lineups in 7 games worries me a little about the commodity the team will have moving forward.
Part of the reason Roberts has used so many lineups is his commitment to giving the players rest, while also keeping the bench active. Out of all the regular starters, Yasiel Puig is the only Dodger to have started all 7 games.
