The Dodgers' World Series title defense begins with a wild-card game Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Max Scherzer will start on the mound for L.A.
’ offense in Wednesday night’s National League wild-card game at Dodger Stadium, wasn’t going to answer whether he will glean anything from his dominant start against them Sept. 8. He wasn’t going to say whether that outing in St. Louis, back when the Dodgers were fighting for the NL West title and the Cardinals were playoff afterthoughts, will affect his game plan or approach. He wasn’t going to say anything.
Scherzer, the Dodgers’ hired ace, will start opposite the resurgent Wainwright, a career-long Cardinal who produced a 3.05 earned-run average across 32 starts in his 16th season with the club.Trevor Bauer was accused of sexual assault “I wasn’t locating with all my pitches,” Scherzer said. “When I’m off with a couple pitches, then it just opens up holes in my game to where, when I do make mistakes, they get burnt.”
“You’re always on pins and needles in those situations,” Scherzer said. “And you’ve just got to be calm, cool and collected and go out there and execute and go out there and just pitch your best and pitch your game.” “We’re confident that he feels good and his stuff looks crisp,” Shildt said. “That’s important. As far as how he’ll be used, it will be in the bullpen and it will be fluid.”
Without him, the Dodgers have Cody Bellinger, Matt Beaty and Albert Pujols as options for first base. Roberts said the team is considering all three players but indicated that Bellinger’s plus defense in center field is valuable for Scherzer, who qualifies as a fly-ball pitcher. Starting Bellinger in center field would likely leave AJ Pollock or Chris Taylor in left field and Gavin Lux, who transitioned from infield to outfield last month, on the bench to start.
