In three starts against the Dodgers this year the righthander has allowed four earned runs in 20 innings. Walker Buehler starts for LA.

He is backed by some strong arms in Clayton Kershaw and Hyun Jin Ryu as it is all hands on deck for this elimination game. Patrick Corbin and Joe Ross are available for Washington in their bullpen. Even Anibal Sanchez to help if needed in the middle innings. Strasberg has a 30% strikeout rate and is a pitcher who throws the fastball only about half the time.
