The stage is set for Bobby Miller. At 6:07 p.m. on Monday night, Bobby Miller will be taking the mound for the Dodgers, essentially trying to keep their season alive. No, the Dodgers can’t be eliminated from postseason contention on Monday, but going down 0-2 in a best-of-five series with the next two games coming in Arizona is as close to elimination as it gets.
So, on Monday night, in front of a sold out crowd at Dodger Stadium, it’ll be up to the 24-year-old rookie to keep the Dodgers’ World Series hopes alive.
Normally, that sentence would elicit fear in the mind of Dodger fans everywhere.
