Specter of Kershaw, Greinke not shaking Mets’ confidence

LOS ANGELES — Roll cameras for Mets postseason 2015, take one.

In this Hollywood production, Clayton Kershaw is the untouchable gunslinger who owns the West and isn’t about to be outdone by a band of Eastern rogues.

But the Mets did not win 90 games and the NL East title this year without facing adversity, and Kershaw — the starter in Friday’s Game 1 of the NLDS — and his Dodgers rotation-mate, Zack Greinke, represent the highest order of resistance in a short series.

So does that make the Mets underdogs?

“We’re not betting it — at least I hope we’re not — so it doesn’t matter one way or not,” David Wright said Thursday after the Mets finished a workout at Dodger Stadium.
