Manager Dave Roberts made the decision to leave Mookie Betts out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers, giving the starting shortstop an opportunity to reset amid a season-long scuffle at the plate.

The Dodgers don’t have the luxury to put Betts at DH though thanks to Shohei Ohtani, but they could put him in his more comfortable outfield position and let him regain his offensive form. When Betts is swinging a hot bat, the Dodgers are better. Why would they not try something to see if it helps?
