6 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger will start in center field and bat leadoff in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday after playing the hero in the extra-inning walk-off win in Game 4 on Tuesday. Max Muncy is also starting at second base and is hitting fifth against Brewers left-hander Wade Miley. Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig will start on the bench. Manager Dave Roberts is riding the hot hand and going against his traditional choices against left-handed pitching. Bellinger hit just .226 with six of his 25 homers against lefties, but he certainly has DFS upside hitting leadoff while riding the high from Tuesday night. Muncy was a little bit better against lefties (.255, eight of 35 homers against), but he isn't as attractive as Bellinger in DFS.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
