He gave up the only runs of the series, as our bullpen stepped up and held the Cubs at bay. That's the key to going deep in the playoffs, and yes I agree that the Rockies and D-Backs will be caught and surpassed, and that our toughest challenges will be the Nats and Cubs, just like last year. It's (un)officially MLB summer now, even if the NBA Finals hasn't started yet! I'm not going to jinx my Dodgers by picking them to go to the Big Dance, but WOW it sure would be nice to finally see them get back.
The only thing that really concerns me about Kershaw is he has struggled in the Playoffs in big moments. This season the Dodgers seem pretty focused so far though. He struggled a bit yesterday but it was law of averages the Cubs were going get some runs after being shutout twice. The Dodgers are one of my favorites to take it all this season. Nats have a lot off fire power but they choke every season. I think in the end it will come down to Dodgers/Cubs again but you guys will probably have HFA this time. That is just my early guess. June is just approaching so we will see.
Nothing to worry about about Kershaw. He'll lead the league in ERA once again for the 4th year in a row and take home a 3ed CY Young award. We just need to give him more rest during the playoffs instead of riding his back like a donkey
If the season were to end today, Dodgers would have HFA throughout the NL! They are now 33-20.
Nats just beat the Giants so technically they would have HFA by %points over the Dodgers now. Nats are at 32-19 .627/Dodgers 33-20 .623. I bet you Dodgers fans love the fact the Giants are stinking it up so far, MadBum's injury has that team in bigtime disarray.
