Robert’s opening with Knebel

Anyone the Dodgers put out is quality. So, they are going to have to hit. It does mean lineup will start off differently. I’d go Wade (Rf) Bryant (LF)  Posey Crawford Flores(1B) Longoria. Solano Yaz (CF) 
Slater replaces Wade. I’d save La Stella. I think he only has 1 AB anyway given health.
My guess is he’s thinking Knebel 1. Urias 2-6. Scherzer 7. Trienen 8. Jansen 9. Let’s hope Giants can disrupt that.

Or ..

You stick with RH lineup and adjust by putting your non platoon guys up earlier. Say:
Bryant
Crawford 
Posey
Flores
Longoria
Solano
Yaz
Slater.

Yes, I'd go with the latter approach (though tinker with the order - put Yaz fourth and Slater seventh and slide others).

Roberts is smart to open with a righty.  Because you KNOW the Dodgers' back end pitchers - Treinen and Janzzen - are righties, the Giants are free to make the line change substitutions once Urias comes out.  Now, starting a righty, mucks that up.
