Biggest question mark right now for the Dodgers is Kenley Jansen, who's been garbage since mid-August and was garbage again yesterday.

I don't know how much you can trust this guy to protect a 9th inning lead. Roberts is probably going to force him to "figure it out" though.

Jansen gave up 2 runs in 11 IP with 13:2 K:BB and 5/5 saves in September. He had a bad 10 day period in August after returning from his heart issue, and the back to backs yesterday were against two of the best hitters in the NL.

I think he'll be okay.

He ran a 101 xFIP- in September, with almost half of balls in play against him qualifying as hard hit according to FanGraphs.

Maybe the effects from his heart ailment are still lingering, but it's pretty clear he's diminished.

The last 3 years he allowed 15 HRs combined.

This year? 13.

I'd say he's a question mark at the very least.

Just please let Atlanta win Game 3. Really don't want to be in Suntrust park and watch us get closed out.

Why is Ryu getting the Game 1 start!? Did I see that correctly?

Pitching really well and more rest than Kershaw.
