No huge roster surprises as the Dodgers try to ensure they have enough relief pitching for a potential seven-game World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Dodgers will carry 15 pitchers and 13 position players against the Tampa Bay Rays. While the National League Championship Series didn’t have an off day, which put a premium on pitching depth, the World Series has two scheduled days off. The Dodgers could have replaced at least one pitcher with a position player. But they opted to not interrupt the formula that worked in the previous round.

The Rays, on the other hand, chose to carry one more position player to leave them with 14 position players and 14 pitchers.in the American League Championship Series, replacing right-hander Aaron Slegers and left-hander José Alvarado with outfielder Brett Phillips and left-hander Ryan Sherriff — a native of Culver City.
