Mattingly says Dodgers will have 'hands full' vs Met hurlers

LOS ANGELES - The Mets will be facing two of the top pitchers in baseball in the first two games -- and possibly twice more -- in the NL Division Series.

But Cy Young winners Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke aren't the only arms who have the chance to make a major impact when the best-of-five series opens here on Friday night. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly heaped praise on Mets young guns Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey before his team's workout Wednesday at Dodger Stadium.

"Those guys are really good," said Mattingly, the former Yankees star entering his third straight postseason with the Dodgers.
