LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw enters this postseason with a chance to atone for bitter playoff disappointment over the past two years but says team success, not personal satisfaction, is his main goal.

Kershaw, who on Sunday became only the third pitcher since 2000 to post a 300-strikeout season, will start for the Dodgers on Friday against the New York Mets in Game One of their best-of-five National League Division Series.
