After a wild series against the Washington Nationals, the Chicago Cubs head to Los Angeles for an NLCS rematch with Clayton Kershaw and Dodgers this Saturday at 8:08 PM. The Dodgers are coming off a sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks making them a team that will be playing on a lot of rest.
The last time these two teams faced off the Cubbies got the best of LA, beating them in the 2016 division series 4-2 behind the stellar pitching of Jon Lester. With Lester being the probable start for Game 2 of the current series, we are not sure who we will see on the mound Friday night although it will probably be either Jose Quintana or John Lackey. Quintana is yet to give up a run this postseason while Lackey has not made an appearance thus far.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, have a pitching staff whose well rested with the league’s long-running top pitcher as their ace. Kershaw has been dominant for the majority of his career but never seems to pitch as well in the playoffs. Over his 15 postseason appearances, he holds a 4.63 ERA with 113 strikeouts. With an offense led by the likes of Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant Kershaw will have to bring his best stuff.
