​Welcome to the California Post’s weekly Dodgers recap, where we review the week that was, hand out very official awards and take stock of the state of the season.QUESTION OF THE WEEKWho will be Dodgers’ Game 1 starter?Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (18) gets set to run on to the field for the first inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectThe Dodgers enter the final weekend of the season having checked every important item on their regular-season to-do list.A 13th division title in the last 14 seasons.A first-round playoff bye that will see them avoid a best-of-three wild card round.And, perhaps most importantly, a healthy starting rotation entering this quest for a third-straight World Series title this October.For most of this year, that last objective seemed to be constantly in doubt, thanks to extended injuries to Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow as well as Shohei Ohtani’s return to a hitting-only role.But now, barring a last-second setback, the team knows it will have a powerhouse rotation after all, with Snell, Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and trade deadline acquisition Tarik Skubal all set to feature in the star-studded group. The only real question entering the team’s pre-NLDS bye week is how those four will be lined up for the best-of-five series.The most logical choice for Game 1 is probably Yamamoto, thanks not only to his sterling postseason track record but also scheduling logistics in the best-of-five series. Yamamoto is most accustomed to pitching on five days of rest, while someone like Skubal has more experience making only four-day turns.If Yamamoto starts Game 1, and Skubal starts Game 2, both would be available for a potential winner-take-all Game 5 –– Yamamoto on what would be five days’ rest, and Skubal on four.Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal throws to the plate during the first inning of a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, in Los Angeles.

Glasnow, meanwhile, could be an option out of the bullpen early in the series before getting lined up for Game 4.As of now, the team hasn’t publicly settled on any final decisions. And, regardless of how they line things up, they’ll feel good about the state of their starters.As Freddie Freeman noted, “We have four No. 1 starters.”PLAYER OF THE WEEKWill Smith (5 for 12, 2 home runs, 3 RBIs this week; .250 average, 10 home runs, 34 RBIs, .770 OPS this season)Smith’s neck injury lasted longer than expected this summer.It also took him a minute to rediscover his swing.After returning from the injured list at the start of September, Smith initially endured a 6-for-35 slump in his first 13 games back.This week, however, the three-time All-Star turned a corner.Los Angeles Dodgers’ Will Smith scores after hitting a solo home run during the
