LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers will try for their fifth consecutive postseason victory on Sunday night, but will have their work cut out for them, with Jon Lester on the mound for the Cubs in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium.
Lester has been everything Chicago wanted and more since signing a six-year, $155 million contract before the 2015 season, averaging 196 innings and 195 strikeouts per season while posting a 123 ERA+ through the first half of the deal. He has started five Games 1 in the postseason in his three years in Chicago, and 10 in his career.
