Washington at Los Angeles

This is a tough situational spot for Washington, surviving a one-game Wild Card with its ace and now flying 3,000 miles to play the rested powerhouse L.A. Dodgers. Washington goes with Patrick Corbin, who was great at home (8-2) but sports a 4.18 ERA on the road. He faces a Los Angeles team that ranked fifth in runs scored and on-base percentage, fourth in slugging, while the pitching staff was No. 1 with a 3.37 team ERA. The Dodgers are on a 37-17 run, including 54-18 at home, and 11-5 in their last 16 home playoff games. Starter Walker Buehler has a 2.86 ERA at Dodger Stadium this season where batters hit .208 off him. The Dodgers are 52-24 when following an off day, plus 62-29 during Game 1 of a series. They are also 35-16 against Washington, including 9-3 in this park. Play the Dodgers.
