Asked if Sean Doolittle is his choice over Stephen Strasburg to close the Wild Card Game, Dave Martinez said, "We're going to see where we're at in the game . . . If we're up, and the situation allows, and the matchups are clear, I could see Doolittle closing." ⁦‪@MLB‬⁩ ⁦‪@MLBNetwork

Brandon Woodruff starts tomorrow in the wild card game. But the Brewers are expected to heavily rely on their bullpen to attempt to beat Max Scherzer and the Nationals.

“With our personnel, it puts us in the optimal position to be successful.”

Brent Suter is on the ⁦‪@Brewers‬⁩ roster for the NL Wild Card Game and could become the 2nd ⁦‪@HarvardBaseball‬⁩ player to appear in the ⁦‪@MLB‬⁩ postseason. The first was Eddie Grant of the 1913 New York Giants; he was killed in the Argonne Forest while serving in the ⁦‪@USArmy‬⁩ during WWI.

If you believe the #Nats have a 50/50 chance of defeating the #Dodgers in the Division Series, well, recent history says you are right: Wild Card Game winners are 28-30 overall in Division Series games against the No. 1 seeds under the current ⁦‪@MLB‬⁩ playoff format. ⁦‪@MLBNetwork‬⁩

Hader threw 30 pitches last night, 14 strikes. Per MLB Network research, it was only the third appearance of his career, regular season or postseason, in which he had more balls than strikes.

Walker Buehler will start Game 1.

Interesting decision by the Dodgers to start Walker Buehler in Game 1. Hyun-Jin Ryu has a 1.21 ERA in his past three starts and dominated the Nationals in two starts this season (0.61 ERA, .415 OPS, 2 XBH).
