You’d think with the Astros coming to town we at Dodgers Digest would be champing at the bit to write the Game Thread.

You fool.

No one claimed it, so here’s the lazy version: Lance McCullers vs. Walker Buehler.

Cody Bellinger gets the start in right field, with Mookie Betts still manning second base. Chris Taylor gets the nod in center field.

Still a potent lineup, even without the cheating. Noted racist Yuli Gurriel was scratched from the lineup.

——

Would like to see Brusdar Graterol get it going.

——

Can’t wait to see Betts and Trea Turner hitting 1-2 in this lineup.

And this guy on the mound.

——

The fans are into it. Here’s hoping the Dodgers can give them what they want.
