The pitching matchups are really interesting in this one. Game 1 was odd b/c even though you had two huge names squaring off in Kershaw/Sale, I don't think either lineup was afraid of the opposing starter nor was either manager expecting much more than they ended up getting in the pedestrian starts.

Game 2 is a complete wild card matchup with Price and Ryu both having shown dominant performances and getting knocked around. Game 3 is likely a matchup of each team's best pitcher with Eovaldi facing Beuller (especially in the NL park with no DH). I'd tend to give Game 4 edge to LA with Hill on the mound but Porcello would be facing a lineup with no DH and he's had some nice moments as well this postseason.

Feel like the Dodgers road map to winning this thing would be to make sure they get one of the next two and then get a big start from Hill and take Game 4. Start Kershaw in Game 5 but have a quick hook ready and do anything you have to to try and steal that game so you don't have to go to Boston needing to win two.

For the sox you'd love to see Price and Eovaldi put up gems back-to-back and then it's a matter of piecing one more together like they did vs. Houston. It should be interesting.
