LOS ANGELES — The blueprint of the Dodgers’ plan to get back to the World Series for the first time in 28 years was already on display earlier in the National League Championship Series, just a few days ago really. For the Dodgers to eliminate the Cubs they need Clayton Kershaw, Kenley Jansen and Rich Hill to pitch nearly all the innings of Games 6-7 at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
For inspiration, the Dodgers can turn back the clock to Sunday and Tuesday, when they shut out the Cubs 1-0 in Game 2 and 6-0 in Game 3, with that trio recording 91 percent of the outs.
