[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Dodgers, who are striving for three consecutive championships, have a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Their divisional rivals will meet the winner of the Warriors and Phillies. The Dodgers have not yet announced their starting pitchers for the divisional round, but the rotation has already taken shape. As for the role of the US$136.5 million (approximately NT$4.3 billion) star strongman Tyler Glasnow, Dodger head coach Dave Roberts also revealed his thoughts.

Glasnow was placed in the bullpen against the Phillies in last year's divisional round. However, the situation may be slightly different this year. In the first three games of the divisional round, it is expected that Yamamoto Yushin, Tarik Skubal and Blake Snell may be in charge. Head coach Robles said that Glasnow is expected to serve as the starting pitcher in G4.

"He's one of the four starting pitchers," Robles told "Dodgers Nation." "The divisional schedule is a little different this year, and we don't have to play a wild card this year. Is it possible that he can get on the mound in one of the first three games? It's possible. I would say the most likely is Game 4. I don't think he's going to come out of the bullpen early in the series. We'll talk about that in the next few days."

Glasnow has only started 13 games this season due to injury, pitching 74 innings with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, with an ERA of 3.53. Regarding his role in the playoffs, Glasnow emphasized on the "Dodgers Territory" program: "I was lucky enough to adapt to the rhythm of the bullpen in advance during the Pirates period. Now I no longer feel nervous about different roles like before. I just need to try my best to do everything the team needs me to do."
