It’s all hands on deck in this Game 5 tonight for the Dodgers. Well, maybe everyone except Rich Hill. But really, it shouldn’t be. This game should be in one pitcher’s hands: Walker Buehler.
Buehler is starting this win-or-go-home contest for the Dodgers, just as they set up when they gave the 25-year-old the ball in Game 1.
After a bit of a rough start to his playoff career, Buehler has gotten better and better. In his last four postseason starts, Buehler has a 1.82 ERA, .176 opponents batting average and a 28.
