2020 World Series: Austin Barnes, Will Smith Potentially Both In Dodgers Lineup For Game 3

Austin Barnes has started five of 14 possible games so far this postseason, with four coming when Clayton Kershaw was on the mound. Of Barnes’ starts, Will Smith has also been in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup in four of them.

That may be the case again for Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night despite Walker Buehler, not Kershaw, starting. “It’s a thought,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I love both of our catchers back there.

“There’s a neutral piece of pitcher-batter, so it’s certainly on the table. I’m going to put the lineup out there I feel gives us the best chance to win.
