As for the starting pitching for Game 4 of the district series, the Padres had a difficult time deciding on their starting pitching, with Schiess, who started Game 1, taking the mound three days into the game, and the Dodgers faced “bullpen. day” with relief pitchers I did.

Padres pitcher Schiess led the team this season with 14 wins, an ERA of 3.47, and didn’t even hit a hitter in July. Two types of pitches, the fastest 161 km/h fastball and the sharp slider, account for more than 85% of his pitches, and he has the ability to reach 224 in 189 and one-third innings. However, in Game 1 of the district series, which was his first start in the playoffs, he was lackluster, giving up five runs in the middle of the fourth inning, including a three-run home run by Otani, so he will it’s interesting. to see if he can get his original streak back on the mound on the third day of middle school.
[Dodgers]
Originally, the Dodgers were expected to start Game 4 with rookie pitcher Knack, but since it was a “lose it, it’s over” game, they decided to go with a bullpen day. The Dodgers had a tough game, exposing the weaknesses of their starting pitching staff due to a series of injuries.
Pitcher Knack has a record of 3 wins and 5 losses this season with a 3.65 ERA, and has been a starter in 12 of the 15 games he has pitched, but in the season finale against the Rockies on September 29 , he started in the second inning on a bullpen day. If he goes in Game 4, it will be nine days ago, and he will have plenty of rest.
Dodgers manager Roberts indicated that he plans to use pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who started Game 1, and pitcher Flairty, who started Game 2, in Game 5.
If the Padres go into Game 5, there’s a chance that pitcher Yu Darvish will start in four days.
