Tabbed for NLDS Game 1 Buehler will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series at San Francisco on Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Notches 16th win Buehler (16-4) got the win in Sunday's 10-3 victory over Milwaukee, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with 11 strikeouts in five innings.
Impact With the NL West crown still up for grabs, Dave Roberts turned to Buehler for the crucial game 162 start and the Cy-Young contender delivered an electric performance. The 27-year-old recorded his first seven outs via the strikeout and kept the score close until Los Angeles broke out with six runs in the fifth inning. Buehler submits a final 2021 line that features a 16-4 record in 33 starts with a 2.47 ERA that ranks third in MLB, a 0.97 WHIP and 212:52 K:BB in 207.2 innings pitched. '

Seven strong innings Buehler (15-4) got the win in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over San Diego, allowing three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.
Impact After struggling in his previous start, Buehler shut down the Padres Tuesday in needing just 90 pitches to navigate seven frames. The 27-year-old did seem to tire a bit as all five strikeouts came in the game's first four innings but that didn't stop the righty from preventing any Padre to pass second base. Buehler would line up to start the final game of the season on Sunday though Los Angeles has yet to announce a starter as it would depend on whether the NL West is still up for grabs.

Rough outing against Colorado Buehler allowed five earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out two across 3.2 innings Wednesday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Buehler allowed five consecutive hits to begin the fourth inning and was eventually pulled from the game having allowed all five earned runs in the frame. While Buehler has largely remained effective, this performance comes just three turns through the rotation after he allowed six earned runs across three innings to San Francisco. Notably, Buehler also has only 13 strikeouts across 19.2 frames in four September starts. Even so, he has maintained a stellar 2.58 ERA with a 196:49 K:BB across 195.2 innings on the season.

Falls to Reds on Friday Buehler (14-4) took the loss against Cincinnati on Friday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five.
Impact Though the right-hander earned his MLB-leading 26th quality start, he was outdueled by opposing starter Luis Castillo and didn't appear to have his best stuff. Buehler held the Reds scoreless for four frames but was touched up for a run in the fifth and two in the sixth before departing. His numbers on the campaign still hold up to the best hurlers in the league -- Buehler has a 2.39 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 194:49 K:BB across 192 innings -- but he has faded a bit of late, posting a 6.19 ERA and losing twice in three September starts. He'll look to get back on track next week in a start against Colorado.
