Betts

Roberts said he hasn’t made any final decisions. Second and third are the usual spots of Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, respectively, which made us think Tucker might open up in the cleanup spot. If Tucker bats second, he’d presumably be followed by Betts and Freeman, but if Tucker bats third behind Betts, it might make sense to slide Freeman down to fifth to separate the lefty bats and use Will Smith in the cleanup spot.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will stick with Betts in the cleanup spot for the winner-take-all affair in Toronto after he delivered a two-run single in Game 6 to help Los Angeles keep their season alive. Here’s the full lineup as the Dodgers attempt to repeat as World Series champions: Shohei Ohtani (P/DH), Will Smith (C), Freddie Freeman (1B), Betts (SS), Max Muncy (3B), Teoscar Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (CF), Enrique Hernández (LF) and Miguel Rojas (2B).

Betts extended the Dodgers’ lead to 3-0 with a two-run single in the third off Kevin Gausman. He also drew a walk. It has not been a great postseason for the 33-year-old star, as seen in a .657 OPS over October, but that hit — and the Dodgers’ pitching — now has Los Angeles just a win away from back-to-back championships. He’ll

With their backs up against the wall and looking to stave off elimination, Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts has opted to shake up his lineup a bit. Miguel Rojas will start at second base while Tommy Edman will move out to center field. Here’s the full lineup that the Dodgers will send out against Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Will Smith (C), Freddie Freeman (1B), Betts (SS), Teoscar Hernández (RF), Max Muncy (3B), Kiké Hernandez (LF), Tommy Edman (CF) and Miguel Rojas (2B).

The Dodgers have switched up their starting nine for the first time since sitting Max Muncy against a lefty in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Phillies. Call started that one over Muncy, but tonight he’s playing over Pages, who is 4-for-50 with one RBI and no walks in the postseason. The other change is moving up Smith and dropping Mookie Betts, though only to the third spot. The lineup: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Smith (C), Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Teoscar Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B), Muncy (3B), Kiké Hernandez (CF) and Call (LF).

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has flip-flopped Hernández, who snapped out of an early-series slump with a four-hit effort during Monday’s Game 3 extra-inning marathon, and Max Muncy on his lineup card as they prepare to face Blue Jays veteran Shane Bieber on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The only other note here is that the Dodgers continue sticking with Andy Pages in center field despite the fact he’s batting .083 this postseason. Here’s the full lineup: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Will Smtih (C), Hernández (RF), Muncy (3B), Tommy Edman (2B), Enrique Hernandez (LF) and Pages (CF).

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has flipped Muncy — who launched a pivotal solo homer during the late stages of Saturday night’s Game 2 win in Toronto — and Teoscar Hernández on his lineup card to face Blue Jays veteran Max Scherzer as the best-of-seven Fall Classic shifts to Los Angeles. Here’s the full lineup: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS). Freddie Freeman (1B), Will Smith (C), Muncy (3B), Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B), Enrique Hernández (LF) and Andy Pages (CF).

The Dodgers think they put their best foot forward against right-hander Trey Yesavage in Friday night’s loss, so they’ll utilize the same alignment for Saturday night’s battle against Kevin Gausman. Once again, here’s the full lineup: Shohei Ohtani (DH), Mookie Betts (SS), Freddie Freeman (1B), Will Smith (C), Max Muncy (3B), Enrique Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B) and Andy Pages (CF).

The Dodgers will go with the same lineup they have since Game 2 of the NLCS in their quest to win back-to-back championships. The full lineup against Trey Yesavage and the Toronto pitching staff: Shohei Ohtani DH, Betts SS, Freddie Freeman 1B, Will Smith C, Teoscar Hernández RF, Max Muncy 3B, Enrique Hernández LF, Tommy Edman 2B and Andy Pages CF behind Blake Snell on the mound.

Freeman has been moved up to the third spot behind Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts to face Brewers ace Freddy Peralta on Tuesday night at American Family Field with Teoscar Hernández dropped all the way down to the sixth spot behind Will Smith and Max Muncy. The 36-year-old veteran batted cleanup in each of the Dodgers first five postseason contests. His sixth-inning solo homer against Milwaukee reliever Chad Patrick helped power Los Angeles to a narrow series-opening win on Monday night. Here’s the full lineup: Ohtani (DH), Betts (SS), Freeman (1B), Smith (C), Muncy (3B), Hernández (RF), Tommy Edman (2B), Enrique Hernández (LF) and Andy Pages (CF).
