The Dodgers will send left-hander Blake Snell (5-4, 2.35 ERA) to the mound. Snell is coming off a strong outing in the Wild Card Series and has a proven playoff track record. The Phillies counter with left-hander Jesús Luzardo (15-7, 3.92 ERA), who impressed this season after being acquired in December and led the Phillies in strikeouts.

For the Phillies, outfielder Harrison Bader is out of the lineup after suffering a groin injury in Game 1. Brandon Marsh will start in his place. The Dodgers lineup remains largely unchanged.

Both teams’ bullpens are expected to be rested after an off-day on Sunday. The Dodgers will rely on rookie closer Roki Sasaki, while the Phillies will turn to Jhoan Duran to close out the game, relying on Matt Strahm and Orion Kerkering to bridge the gap.
