LAD debut starts in the 21st century

Dennis Santana didn’t get to make this list due to the Dodgers sleight of hand regarding who started and who relieved last week,  but from what I gather, Caleb Ferguson will actually start the game tonight so I thought we could look at all the debut starts for the Dodgers. I limited this to the 21st century because the list would be quite long otherwise.

If you were new to the Dodgers and saw Ross Stripling with the best game score of any Dodger debut start in the 21st century you might not be surprised that he’s been the best Dodger pitcher in 2018.  The rest of us are a bit shocked.
