The Dodgers will get a bit of a breather on Tuesday, as Jake Peavy's start has been pushed back to Thursday. In his place, Wade LeBlanc will get the nod.
Even though LeBlanc will be making only his 4th Big League start, this will be his 3rd one against the Dodgers. He hasn't exactly been that great, giving up 9 runs in 10 innings, good for a 1-1 record. His goal is to prove he belongs in next year's rotation, and a big win on the road against the first place Dodgers will undoubtedly help his cause.
So now it's LeBlanc vs. Chad Billingsley, Shawn Estes vs. Clayton Kershaw, and Peavy vs. Greg Maddux. Needless to say, it's the biggest week the Dodgers have had in a couple of years.
