Social Media Reacts
Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:
@randi9320: “Teoscar and Smith swapped places in the lineup which was exactly what I was hoping for after yesterday. Hopefully between Betts, Teo and Freddie they can get something going because I don’t have much hope in Ohtani or Smith right now.”
Ben Nicholson-Smith: “Will Smith bumped down; Teoscar batting third”
@MonkeyD_Chavez: “Smith needs to bat even lower”
@joshgitt1987: “This is an interesting lineup. While I’m glad Will Smith is being dropped, I’m not sure batting him behind Shohei Ohtani is a good idea. Tommy Edman better bring it.”
Looking At The Dodgers
The Dodgers are looking to win their third straight World Series title.
