"Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled all the right levers in World Series Game 6, which kept the team's season alive for one more game. More news: Dodgers Lineup for World Series Game 7 Revealed In Friday's 3-1 victory, Roberts put together a managerial masterclass by moving Mookie Betts to cleanup and telling him he was "going to have a big hit." Betts came through for the Dodgers with two runs batted in."
"Now, the Dodgers have rolled out practically the same lineup for Game 7 (with the exception of Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez switching spots in the order). Roberts revealed his plan of attack for the World Series finale Saturday night. "There's certain guys I trust," Roberts said to ESPN. "You've got to be proactive in Game 7, but you can't be overly aggressive in certain spots. That's the beauty of Game 7. It's gonna be so much fun, dude.""
Dave Roberts moved Mookie Betts to cleanup and told him he was 'going to have a big hit,' and Betts delivered two RBIs that helped fuel a 3-1 victory that kept the Dodgers alive for Game 7. Roberts started Miguel Rojas at second base, a decision that contributed to the game-ending double play. Roberts batted Will Smith second, and Smith drove in a run. Roberts used a sequence of relievers from Justin Wrobleski to Roki Sasaki to Tyler Glasnow, and inserted Justin Dean as a ninth-inning defensive replacement who participated in the decisive play. The Dodgers will use a nearly identical lineup in Game 7.
