Dodgers name Kershaw, Greinke, Anderson to start first three games against Mets

/ STAFF WRITER

LOS ANGELES – The Dodgers announced their starting pitching plans for the first three games of their NL Division Series against the New York Mets and it includes no surprises.

That could come later.

As expected, left-hander Clayton Kershaw will start Game 1 against the Mets (and right-hander Jacob deGrom) on Friday, followed by right-hander Zack Greinke in Game 2 on Saturday (against Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard).

Both of those games will be at Dodger Stadium, where the Dodgers have a .729 winning percentage the past three years when either Kershaw or Greinke starts (including a 3-1 record in playoff starts).
