There has been plenty of intrigue in the lead up to Game 6. Max Scherzer was originally scheduled to be on the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers Saturday night as the NLCS returns to Atlanta. However, he was scratched late Friday due to right arm fatigue. The Dodgers announced Saturday morning that they will instead bring back Walker Buehler on short rest with their season on the line.
Buehler started Game 3 of the series and failed to make it out of the fourth inning allowing six hits and four runs although only two were earned.
