Chris Taylor Earns Start In Game 1, Joc Pederson On Bench
4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers utilityman Chris Taylor will start Game 1 of Wednesday’s wild-card series versus Milwaukee and left-hander Brent Suter at second base. Taylor gets the nod over Enrique Hernandez and Gavin Lux, as Edwin Rios will serve as the designated hitter in place of Joc Pederson. Taylor produced an .842 OPS during the regular season, forcing his way into everyday playing time entering the postseason. His DFS upside may be capped due to batting ninth in the order Wednesday, but fantasy managers can expect him in the lineup most nights for Los Angeles moving forward.
