Should the Los Angeles Dodgers run back the same rotation they used to beat the Atlanta Braves? On today's show, Travis Rodgers explains why the answer to that question is: No! Travis gets into why starting Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2 instead of in Game 3 is a switch Dave Roberts needs to make in order to maximize LA's chances of beating the Milwaukee Brewers. Then, Travis outlines the path for the the Dodgers to take down the 103-win Brewers and advance to their third-straight World Series before discussing the ways this could go very wrong for the Dodgers against a Milwaukee team that's much improved from last year.
