Right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound for the Dodgers after a rough start in Game 3 of the NL Division Series, allowing three earned runs and not batting an out in the fifth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies
Yamamoto had an incredible regular season, though, going 12-8 with a 2.49 ERA and 201 strikeouts in 173.2 innings. He’ll look to pick up where Blake Snell left off after his historic achievement in Game 1 on Monday night.

Opposite Yamamoto is the Brewers’ ace in right-hander Freddy Peralta.
Peralta made two starts against the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS, allowing five runs in 9.2 innings of work with 15 strikeouts. In the regular season, he made 33 starts and went 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA and 204 strikeouts in 176.2 innings.
Although the Dodgers have the same nine players in the lineup as Game 1, they have shaken things up a bit. Freddie Freeman moved back to hole No. 3, while Teoscar Hernandez was dropped all the way to hole No. 6. Will Smith is cleaning up, while Max Muncy is batting fifth.
The lineup is completed with Tommy Edman at seventh and Kiké Hernandez and Andy Pages batting eighth and ninth respectively.
