Five innings were all the Dodgers needed from Kershaw in Game 1, as the bullpen twirled four perfect innings after his exit. The Dodgers can ill afford to take this series back with them to LA after seeing what the Yankees have done to the Astros after being up 2-0 as nothing can be taken for granted in any of these series. The Dodgers only managed a few hits yesterday, have Kershaw on the hill and that offense likely gets back on track today as we like the Dodgers to punch their ticket to the World Series Tonight. The Dodgers are 8-1 when they face a team with a winning record and the Cubs are 0-4 in their last 4 games following a win.
