Clayton Kershaw probably didn’t wake up planning to call out the 2017 Houston Astros this week. However, when he was asked him who the best 1-2 hitting duo was, an amusing thought was voiced.
“I’m trying to think of teams that I pitched against,” Kershaw told Jayson Stark of The Athletic. “Like the best teams. I mean, leadoff-wise, (Jose) Altuve and (Alex) Bregman were good (in Houston). But they cheated, so that’s not really the same.”
Needless to say, Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman don’t have the talent that Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts have.
