It also depends what Clayton Kershaw shows up against us. His ERA for the year was fantastic but he is all over the place. He can go 8 shutout innings, or giving up 5 runs inside of 3 or 4 innings. Much like he did in the playoffs. Game 1 he only went 3 innings giving up 5 runs, but rebounded his next start with 7 innings and only 1 run given up. I guess same can be said about our pitchers. Regardless I have always given Kershaw a lot of respect. He can shut down the top of the order like nobody's business. Then again.... so can Verlander and we got to him in game 5 so who knows.
