Zack Greinke might win the National League Cy Young Award, but he won’t start Friday in Game 1 of a division series against the New York Mets.
Clayton Kershaw will.
The announcement came as no surprise, as Kershaw threw a bullpen session at the team’s workout Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
This will be Kershaw’s third consecutive year starting the Dodgers’ postseason opener.
Kershaw will be followed in the rotation by Greinke, who will start Saturday in Game 2. The first two games of the best-of-five series will be played at Dodger Stadium.
Brett Anderson was named the starter for Game 3, which will be played Monday at Citi Field in New York.
