Walker Buehler starting for Dodgers Tuesday in Game 4

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler is starting in Game 4 of the NLDS on Tuesday against right-hander Anthony DeSclafani and the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

The Dodgers are starting Buehler on short rest for the first time in his career as they try to force a Game 5 with the Giants. The 27-year-old right-hander was handed his second postseason loss in 12 career starts last Friday in Game 1 after allowing three runs in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one.

numberFire's models project Buehler for 23.2 FanDuel points and he has a $9,900 salary on Tuesday night. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants have the second-lowest implied total (3.85) among the four NL teams on Tuesday.
