The only change made from the previous rounds of the postseason roster was LHP Drew Pomeranz being added and RHP Brandon Workman being removed.
The Dodgers have many lefties in their lineup and Pomeranz has had success against left handers this season despite a difficult 2018 campaign.
Pomeranz also better against lefties, especially power-wise. All 12 homers he gave up this season were against right-handed hitters.

Pomeranz also had some success against the Dodgers in his career.
Also w Pomeranz: Justin Turner 0-for-7 against him.
Yasiel Puig: 2-for-9.
Brian Dozier: 1-for-9.
Keep him away from Machado: 6-for-17, 3 doubles, 1 HR.— Michael Silverman (@MikeSilvermanBB) October 23, 2018
