Snell’s Secret Weapon Poised to Shut Down Brewers’ Powerful Offense—Can They Crack the Code?

Snell’s Secret Weapon Poised to Shut Down Brewers’ Powerful Offense—Can They Crack the Code?

The Dodgers come into the series with a couple of pieces of clear advantages: They have a big rest advantage. They took down the Phillies in four games, and haven’t had to play since the 9th. They also have a better starting rotation, and that probably will be true the remainder of the postseason, even if they advance to face the Mariners or Blue Jays. Does rest help or hurt in this situation? Honestly, I have no idea. The Mariners won last night after not having rest and playing an extremely long game. The Dodgers also found out they needed to travel on the 11th, so they traveled yesterday to be ready for today’s game. Not exactly like they had a ton of time to prepare. They are going to start Blake Snell, so they should have a distinct advantage in this one. Snell has already thrown two games for the Dodgers, going 13 innings, allowing just five hits, and striking out 18 hitters. He has been very dominant despite allowing 10 baserunners in the 13 innings of work. He did not face the Brewers this year, but has held them to a .152 batting average in 33 at-bats.
