Lineup Changes from Previous Game: Burdick and Stallings in, Jerar Encarnación and Nick Fortes out; Wendle switches from 3B to 2B, Berti switches from 2B to 3B

Additional Notes: Alcantara is looking to avenge the catastrophic performance he had last season at Dodger Stadium (1.1 IP, 7 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HR)...Rojas enters today in 13th place on the Marlins all-time hits list (681), only one behind Juan Pierre and two behind Marcell Ozuna.

Dodgers Starting Lineup

  1. RF Mookie Betts (148 wRC+ this season, 164 wRC+ over last 30 days)
  2. SS Trea Turner (133, 119)
  3. 1B Freddie Freeman (155, 144)
  4. C Will Smith (132, 119)
  5. 3B Max Muncy (102, 141)
  6. DH Justin Turner (104, 69)
  7. 2B Gavin Lux (131, 145)
  8. LF Joey Gallo (90, 123)
  9. CF Cody Bellinger (83, 82)

RHP Ryan Pepiot (98 ERA+ this season, career 98 ERA+)

Notes: On Pepiot’s 25th birthday, he’ll be making his seventh MLB start. He has not pitched beyond five innings in any of his previous opportunities...Freeman (.778 OPS in 22 PA) and Trea Turner (.905 OPS in 21 PA) have the most head-to-head history with Alcantara among active Dodgers players.
