Ryan Brasier Serving As Dodgers Opener In Game 4
2 months agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers will use right-hander Ryan Brasier as the opener of a bullpen game in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday at Petco Park against the division-rival San Diego Padres. This will be Brasier's fifth opening assignment of the year. The 37-year-old veteran reliever allowed just one run in four innings in his previous four opening assignments. In his two relief appearances in the NLDS against the Padres, he's allowed two earned runs on three hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out one in 2 1/3 innings. Brasier probably won't go more than one inning versus the hot-hitting Friars in this one, so DFS managers should stay away. Right-hander Landon Knack will most likely be the Dodgers' bulk reliever in this one as they try to stay alive and force a Game 5 back in LA on Friday night.
