Dodgers: Hyun-Jin Ryu Should get the Opening Day Start
The Dodgers have started Clayton Kershaw every opening day since 2010. For the first time since then, it appears Kershaw will not take the mound on opening day.
For nearly the past decade, Clayton Kershaw starting on opening day was a move that did not need to be announced. It was expected that the best left-handed starting pitcher of the current generation would toe the rubber to throw the first pitches for the Dodgers’ season. This season it appears that Kershaw won’t start opening day and the Dodgers will send out a different starter for the first time since Vicente Padilla started opening day in 2010.
