Dodgers 3, Mets 1, the morning after:
• Thursday night will be something rare and precious at Dodger Stadium. Not since Game 7 of the 1988 World Series has the ballpark housed the ultimate game of a playoff series. Zack Greinke pitches Game 5 against Jacob deGrom and the winner plays the Chicago Cubs, beginning at home.
• Don Mattingly was by no means looking ahead to that NLCS, but in response to a question he said he doubted Clayton Kershaw would be asked to pitch Game 1 Saturday on three days’ rest. If that’s true, your guess for a Game 1 starter is good as mine and perhaps his.
