3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler will get the nod as the team's Opening Day starter this year on April 8 on the road against the Colorado Rockies. It's the first time since 2010 that Clayton Kershaw hasn't been on the bump on Opening Day for Los Angeles, when healthy. Buehler had a career-best 2.47 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, a 26% strikeout rate and a 6.4% walk rate in a league-high 33 starts over 207 2/3 innings in 2021. The 27-year-old right-hander made the All-Star team for the second time in his career and is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 7 fantasy starter this year. Games at Coors Field are always a bit more risky, but those that have Buehler rostered in redraft leagues shouldn't be benching him.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
