"All of the chips are on the line," Scherzer said Thursday. "That fact that I get the ball, man, you couldn't ask for a better situation. It is going to be fun. It is what you play this game for. This is the best opportunity I could face. You want to be in these situations. It should be a good experience. I can't wait to come out here. It is the same game (but) every pitch is just a little bit more magnified." Scherzer is 2-4 with a 3.29 ERA in 10 games, with eight starts, in his career against the Dodgers.
Kershaw is 10-2 with a 2.02 ERA in 14 games, with 13 starts, against Washington. He was 1-0 this year after giving up six hits and one run in seven innings on June 20 in Los Angeles. Kershaw is 2-3 in NLDS series and 0-3 in the NLCS. Ryan Zimmerman is hitting .318 in 22 at-bats against Kershaw. Jayson Werth is hitting .313 with two homers in 32 at-bats against him. Bryce Harper is 1-for-15 against Kershaw.
Someone will need to post lineups, as I am likely unable to do that in time.
