The Dodgers won the pennant. They’ll face off with the Astros in the World Series starting Tuesday. Until then, how about another roster prediction?
In my last prediction, I didn’t expect there to be many changes. I had 13 position players and 12 pitchers on the roster. Then, Corey Seager was left off the National League Championship Series roster due to an injured back. Enter Charlie Culberson, who far exceeded expectations offensively — 5-for-11, 1.235 OPS — and played strong defense in Seager’s absence. It was the ultimate “next man up” scenario, which seems to be the norm for the Dodgers this season.
