Dodgers News: Padres Name Game One Starter Ahead of NLDS
The Padres are set to face the Dodgers in the division series after beating down on the Mets in Queens on Sunday night. That Wild Card series went to three games, meaning that San Diego burned through its top three starters in Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, and Joe Musgrove. With that in mind, the club quickly named its game one starter for the NLDS.
Mike Clevinger.
Mike Clevinger will start Game 1 Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.

This is why you play for division titles, home field advantage, and byes. Last year the Dodgers tapped out as a wild card. Sherzer couldn’t even go at the end. And Buehler was tired as well. Now the table is properly set against a Padre team that the Dodgers owned all year long. Play ball.
