Anthony Banda Dodgers: serving as a opener on Monday

Banda will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Monday's game versus the Phillies, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.Lefties are hitting just .154/.233/.231 against the left-handed Banda this season, so it makes sense to have him face lefty sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper in the first inning. Banda will likely work just the one inning before handing things off to Emmet Sheehan in bulk relief.
