LOS ANGELES — In winning the National League West on Friday night, the Dodgers won their 98th game of the season. On Saturday, No. 99 takes the mound in the middle game of the series against the Giants.
Hyun-jin Ryu starts, with at least ostensibly a chance to crack the postseason starting rotation. Kenta Maeda made his final start of the season on Thursday, throwing 61 pitches in three innings on Thursday, and over the final week of the season will transition to the bullpen, which would be his role, if any, in October.
