Clayton Kershaw (10-1, 1.58) vs. Stephen Strasburg (10-0, 2.90).
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Dodgers' offense won't be able to do much in the opening game of this series.
And sadly, that probably has nothing to do with the fact that we're facing Strasburg, third in the majors with 118 Ks (teammate Max Scherzer, whom we won't see in this series, is second with 128; Kershaw leads with 133 Ks). It's because our team is 12th in the NL in OPS (Washington is 6th), and our best hitter is Corey Seager (30th) at .280; Daniel Murphy of the Nationals leads the NL with a .358 BA. So, expect no run support for Kershaw, and a difficult loss for our ace on national television.

When he hit into that DP I knew it was going to piss you off
Seeing that Pagan couldn't come up with the catch that cost the giants the game makes the fact that they lost that much sweeter.
AGon is going to "run" away with the Eric Karros Greased Lightning Award again this season.
Cliffy....It would crack me up every time EK would run!
JACQUES!
JOKK BOMB!
Karen, so long as he wasn't grounding into a double play, it would crack my dad up too.
Down goes Harper. Again.
Harper K's agane.
Cliffy...I remember leaning toward the tv willing him to go faster when he would round 3rd and they would show him trying to score from the backside view and mom and I would laugh till we cried.

Cliffy...I think he was supposed to be activated today.

Phew! Kersh gets out of it relatively unscathed.
Wasn't it the 7th inning that the RedTurds got over on Clay in the last couple Playoffs?
Let's get that run back!
Karen, I can't remember if it's been the 6th or 7th that's been his bugaboo. I've blocked it out.

Boy we needed that run.
