Dodgers make starting pitching decisions for NLDS Games 2, 3 vs. Braves

The Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized their starting pitching rotation for the first three games of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. After previously naming Tarik Skubal as the Game 1 starter, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Blake Snell will pitch Game 2 on Sunday, followed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 3 on Tuesday.

The rotation choice pits consecutive left-handers against Atlanta, which struggled with an 84 wRC+ against southpaws over the final two regular-season months. Meanwhile, Yamamoto takes the mound in Atlanta, where the Dodgers hope to capitalize on his 1.77 road ERA this season.
