The start of the Dodgers' playoff run has been anything but smooth for Walker Buehler ... not only is L.A. just 1-1 so far, the star's pricey watch was reportedly lifted off his wrist during a robbery at local race track.
According to ABC7 -- Buehler was at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia at some point over the weekend when the heist occurred.
The outlet states after a mob of people surrounded the pitcher and his wife -- someone unbuttoned his shirt sleeve and nabbed his timepiece.
