If the Dodgers win a series and nobody knows how to watch it did it really happen? Today, the Dodgers look for a fifth consecutive win and to guarantee a season-series win over the Diamondbacks. Last night’s completely normal and not stressful at all win gave the Dodgers a six-game lead in the West, their largest since July 27. They’re guaranteed to leave the desert with at worst the same lead they had when entering the series. Rosters expanded today, so Justin Wrobleski (and others) have been activated. Wrobleski will get the start today against Brandon Pfaadt.

Wrobleski and Andy Pages were the official roster additions for the September callups. The Dodgers also recalled Michael Grove and sent Ben Casparius back to AAA.

Casparius got the win in his Major League debut last night, but was sent down for additional bullpen help. Who knows what the availability of the bullpen is today, but they did a good job only using Casparius, Evan Phillips and Brent Honeywell Jr. last night after pulling Gavin Stone after only 84 pitches.

First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PM PT and will be shown exclusively on Roku? The streaming device? Did this thread feel even more low-effort than our usual low-effort last minute threads (yes, I’m doing this in between picks of a fantasy football draft).
