Tarik Skubal Tabbed as Dodgers' NLDS Game 1 Starter Ahead of Free Agency

The Los Angeles Dodgers named Tarik Skubal as their NLDS Game 1 starter against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline, the lefty went 5-2 with a 2.36 ERA and 70 strikeouts across 10 starts with L.A. Teammate Max Muncy praised Skubal's laser focus on the team's postseason run and clubhouse presence, noting he has completely avoided discussing his impending high-profile offseason free agency.
