Dodgers vs. Brewers lineups: Joc Pederson will not start in Game 2

LA Times  

Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, shown here hitting against the Houston Astros in July, will not start in Game 2 against the Brewers on Thursday. Joc Pederson has been a playoff mainstay for the Dodgers since his first major league season in 2015. The reality became apparent with the Dodgers’ lineup for Game 2 of their wild card series against the Milwaukee Brewers. “I think I want to get Joc going, get the right spots, but, personally, I just feel that with Woodruff having an elite fastball at the top of the zone, I just haven’t seen Joc get to it and handle it this year,” Roberts said.
