The Dodgers have one sure starting outfielder in the postseason, and his name is Mookie Betts. Beyond that, things are still very much up in the air, as Cody Bellinger, Chris Taylor, Trayce Thompson, and Joey Gallo are battling for playing time in the other two spots.
The problem is, all four of those players are flawed. Even Thompson, who has performed the best of the four overall, has been very bad against lefties, the pitchers he was brought in to mash, and strikes out way too much. His 36.7% strikeout rate is actually one point higher than Taylor’s, and Taylor is in the top 15 (in a bad way) in strikeouts in MLB this year.
