The 2018 NLCS gets underway Friday night with two well rested teams battling in Milwaukee. The Dodgers send long-time ace Clayton Kershaw against the late acquired Gio Gonzalez of the Brewers. Kershaw has a history of poor performances in the post-season, but has been better lately. He is 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his last six appearances. Gonzalez never earned a decision in his six post-season starts. He’s walked 19 batters in 26 1/3 innings.
Something to watch in the series is the battle between two of the best hitters in baseball, Christian Yelich and Justin Turner. Turner is just 2 for 19 with no walks against Gonzalez in his regular season career, while Yelich is the best hitter in baseball against Kershaw.
Enjoy!
