Dodgers Need to Win to Ease Kershaw’s Pain

Winning the best of seven series in five games behind a gem from ace Clayton Kershaw was a fitting ending to a series that saw game-changing contributions from a variety of players. That has been the key in the playoffs for the Dodgers so far, and all season long.

Uncle Charlie. From the same arm slot, Kershaw throws the best curveball in the majors, (possibly one of the greatest hooks of all time), along with the well-located heat that hits the mid-90s on the radar gun.

Mixing in a slider, changeup and a cutter, it is no wonder why he has been hugely successful in his career.
