Yoshinobu Yamamoto throws complete game in Dodgers' NLCS Game 2 win - Los Angeles Times

@ByJackHarris

Los Angeles Times

Dodgers took Game 2 5-1 behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete-game gem, seizing the NLCS lead while Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages supplied early offense and Max Muncy added a playoff-record homer. Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta labored, Sal Frelick’s leaping wall attempt fell short, and L.A. padded the cushion with late hits from Shohei Ohtani and Tommy Edman. The sequence tilted quickly toward the Dodgers’ offense and pitching rhythm.

Fantasy minds should treat Yamamoto as a high-floor, frontline option in this series, with Hernández, Ohtani, and Edman delivering multi-market upside in the coming games. Milwaukee must tighten bullpen leverage and offense to extend the showdown beyond Dodger Stadium.

Based on Yamamoto's playoff gem, should fantasy managers treat him as a must-start for the rest of the NLCS?How should you value Teoscar Hernández, Shohei Ohtani, and Tommy Edman given their contributions here?What does Peralta’s outing imply for Milwaukee’s chances and bullpen usage?With Sal Frelick’s defense in the spotlight, should Brewers fans be concerned about his long-term value in this series?
