The Dodgers are good enough to win the World Series even if Kershaw doesn't pitch again this season. .630ish win % when he's not pitching that day.
I won't be surprised if they send a very nice prospect to the Rangers but they should play tough to get a little bit here.
The Dodgers are desperate to win a WS.
Their ownership group absolutely has to win. That is why they are spending the way they are.
They cannot make a deep run into the playoffs, without Kershaw.
He is their mule.
Kershaw: 21 GS, 2.04 ERA, 0.88 WHIP <- DL for 4-6 weeks
Alex Wood: 15 GS, 2.17 ERA, 0.97 WHIP
Rich Hill: 14 GS, 3.48 ERA, 1.22 WHIP
McCarthy: 16 GS, 3.84 ERA, 1.23 WHIP <- On the DL
Maeda: 16 GS, 4.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
Ryu: 14 GS, 4.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP
Those are their 6 Options.
Who are your Top3-4 SPs that you will rely on in the playoffs?
Rich Hill and McCarthy are like an old Pinto. They always seem to break down when you can least afford it.
Dodgers need a SP.
