Dodgers Prepared for Brewers' Unique Pitching Approach
The Milwaukee Brewers have been using an unconventional approach to pitching roles, including using an "opener" to start games.
Manager Dave Roberts says the Dodgers are anticipating this strategy and will adjust accordingly.
"We're going to have to piece it together. That's how we do it,"
said Brewers manager Pat Murphy, whose team had the lowest ERA in the National League during the regular season (3.58).
The only constant in the Brewers' pitching plan is likely to be Freddy Peralta, who will start Game 2 against the Dodgers and possibly Game 7 if the series goes to seven games.
According to Christian Yelich, the team's approach can be described as a "collection of misfit toys" that somehow fit well together.
