Dodgers' starting pitching mistakes could mean another NLDS exit

LA Times  

The point again feels redundant at this stage, but it’s nonetheless worth repeating because it’s the reason why the Dodgers are on the verge of another divisional-round elimination: Their starting pitching is atrocious. Dodgers on verge of another ugly October encore The Dodgers’ lack of fury and energy in their loss to the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of the NLDS has the team back on the brink of another broken October. “I see one of our relievers starting,” manager Dave Roberts said, because the Dodgers don’t have any traditional starters who are healthy or competent enough to pitch at this stage. Buehler’s second inning cost the Dodgers the game, and this doesn’t count Freddie Freeman’s throw to second base that ricocheted off Manny Machado’s helmet or the mistake Miguel Rojas made of trying to beat a runner to second base instead of flipping the ball to Gavin Lux. Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler delivers during a 6-5 loss to the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of the NLDS on Tuesday.
