NEW YORK - Pitching matchups like these are more regularly seen in the first game of a division series, for which teams well in advance line up their best arms to pitch.
This one comes in a winner-take-all Game 5.
Zack Greinke, the second of the Los Angeles Dodgers' two aces, and Jacob deGrom, breakout star of the New York Mets, take the mound Thursday night at Dodger Stadium with each team's season hanging in the balance. The successes or failures of either righthander could very well decide which team advances to play the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series.
