The San Francisco Giants made it official after their blowout loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday: Alex Wood will start in game 3 of the NLDS, which takes place tonight at 6:37 p.m. PT on TBS. Starting opposite him is one of the Dodgers superstar trade deadline acquisitions: Max Scherzer.
Wood has had very mixed results against the Dodgers this year in three starts. He’s pitched 17 innings and allowed 20 hits, 3 walks, and 9 earned runs, with 22 strikeouts. It’s a tremendous strikeout-to-walk ratio, but he’s been done in by allowing 5 home runs.
