Kodai Senga To Start Game 1 Of NLCS
2 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga will officially start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday at Dodger Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he's expected to go around three innings. Manager Carlos Mendoza doesn't know who the bulk reliever will be after Senga. The 31-year-old Japanese hurler made just one start during the regular season due to shoulder, calf and triceps injuries but rejoined the team's playoff roster for the NL Division Series against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. He made the start in Game 1 and allowed a solo home run while walking one and striking out three in just two innings of work. Senga might be able to go a little longer in his next outing against the Dodgers, but he won't be a recommended DFS play in the opener role against one of the best offenses in baseball. The best bet is lefty David Peterson follows Senga in the bulk role.
