Open Thread For Thursday Playoff Games

We have two games today, maybe for the last time this year. I’d be fine with the Dodgers losing in four games.

The early game is the Rays/Guardians game, which was moved to 1:00 Eastern because of bad weather expected to hit today. It is supposed to be 21C this afternoon, so very nice weather for an mid-October game. They are expecting rain this evening.

Lineups:

Tonight’s Brewers/Dodgers game is an 8:00 Eastern start time.

The Brewers don’t have a listed starter yet, but it is likely lefty Shane Drohan

(7-5, 4.19) though they might go with an opener. Tyler Glasnow (5-2, 3.53) starts for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers say that Skubal and Yamamoto aren’t available for relief tonight.
