Corey Seager will not only be the youngest Dodger position player to start a postseason game, he will bat third for Los Angeles in the National League Division Series opener against the Mets tonight.
Seager, who has the highest OPS+ in Dodger history for a rookie, hit in the No. 3 slot twice in his 27-game Major League debut, on September 20 and 30.
One advantage with Seager is that because of his prowess against left-handed pitching, the Dodgers don’t have to worry much about batting him and Adrian Gonzalez back-to-back in the lineup.

1B – James Loney (22/153)
OF – Pete Reiser (22/198)

3B – Eddie Miksis (23/26)

Surprised Joc in there and not Kike, otherwise like that lineup.

I live in Northern California. I am a life long Dodger fan and it is nowhere to be found on local television. What’s up with that????

Do you have TBS? That’s the station that’s broadcasting all the NLDS games
