The umpires for the Dodgers-Mets series have a combined 64 seasons as full-time MLB umpires. The men in blue for the first round:
Gary Cederstrom* 19th season
Chad Fairchild 6th season
Greg Gibson 17th season
Chris Guccione 7th season
Alan Porter 3rd season
Jim Wolf 12th season
The Dodgers will have four starting pitchers on their roster in the National League Division Series, but in all likelihood only three of them will start.
Alex Wood said Wednesday that he’s been told to prepare for a bullpen role in Games 1, 2 and 3 against the Mets, which points to Clayton Kershaw starting an if-necessary Game 4 in New York on three days’ rest Tuesday.
