Clayton Kershaw (12-4 1.69 ERA) vs. Kyle Hendricks (16-8, 2.13 ERA)
Chicago leads 3-2
The Cubs are up 3-2 with two games remaining at home. Surely that's never gone wrong before in my lifetime. It will be difficult tonight as Clayton Kershaw takes the mound. I find some odd parallels between Kershaw and Randy Johnson, in the sense that it was well-known that they were bad in the playoffs until they unexpectedly didn't. Kershaw has pitched well enough this postseason to shake that narrative... unless he has a bad outing tonight.
