Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts Reveals Starting Pitcher for Potential Game 7
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has provided some insight into the team's plans for World Series Game 7. When asked about the pitching situation, Roberts stated that Tyler Glasnow would be available to pitch in Game 7. This news comes after Glasnow earned a save on Friday night, working the final three innings of the game.
However, Roberts did reveal that one pitcher will not be available for Game 7: right-handed starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Japanese ace threw 96 pitches on Friday, his longest outing in recent memory, and although he limited damage, pitching six strong innings, Roberts feels it's best to limit him further.
Despite Yamamoto's impressive performance, Roberts believes the team can still utilize him if needed, saying "If they ask me to go out, I'll be ready." However, he also wants Yamamoto to do his very best to cheer for the team. The Dodgers have a deep bullpen and other options, including Shohei Ohtani or Glasnow taking the mound, which will allow them to make strategic decisions based on the game's progression.
Game 7 is set to take place on Saturday night, with the Dodgers looking to secure their World Series title. With Roberts' assurance that Glasnow would be available and a potential rotation of other pitchers, fans are optimistic about Los Angeles' chances in what could be an epic showdown.
