Tyler Glasnow vs. Max Scherzer.
One starter has long flowing locks of hair; the other guy has two goofy heterochromatic eyes.
One starter made his last start at Dodger Stadium (5.2 IP of 3 H, 1 ER, 8 K ball against the Brewers; coming off a gutty 6.0 IP of 2 H, 0 ER, 8 K ball clinching against the Phillies in the NLDS).
The other guy did not make his last scheduled Dodger start. (To be fair to Scherzer, his K of the Giants' Wilmer Flores in the 2021 NLDS was pretty sweet.)
With the series tied, this Game 3 is pretty pivotal. The Dodgers' bats, particularly the big three, still haven't come to life this series; and there's a lot of talk about whether to bench Andy Pages and his .093 average (Pages also does not have a walk in 47 2025 postseason plate appearances...or 67 postseason plate appearances including last season. He had 29 walks in 624 plate appearances (almost 5%) in the regular season.).
And given Glasnow has not gone long in any of his postseason starts, it's going to be up to the Dodgers bullpen at some point, which is terrifying.
I'm going to tonight's Game 3. I feel really lucky...and extremely nervous!
LET'S GO, DODGERS!
