Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>L.A:</b> Clayton Kershaw (9-5 2.73 ERA)<br />
<b>Boston:</b> Chris Sale (12-4 2.44 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
Kershaw’s last appearance was in Game 7 of the NLCS where he closed it out pitching a perfect inning of relief striking out two in the 9th inning. His previous start was in Game 5 of the NLCS where he was solid only giving up one earned run on three hits in seven innings of work in a 5-2 win. Kershaw's struggles in the playoffs in his career are well documented, and the Dodgers have won two of his three playoff starts this season where in the two wins he only gave up one earned run in 15 innings while in the one loss he gave up four earned runs in just three innings.
</p>
<p>
The three-time Cy Young winner Kershaw will be making his first career start at Boston in this game. In 28 career playoff appearances, including 22 starts, he is 9-8 with an ERA of 4.09. The Dodgers are 20-8 in Kershaw's last 28 interleague starts, and they are 36-15 in his previous 51 road starts.
</p>
<p>
Sale’s start in Game 1 was in jeopardy with a stomach illness he had in the ALCS, but he is ready to go in this game feeling much better. He has not pitched since October 13th where he started Game 1 of the ALCS giving up two earned runs on only one hit but walked four batters in the 7-2 Boston loss. The Red Sox have won one of his two playoffs starts where he gave up two earned runs in each outing, and he also pitched a perfect inning of relief in the ALDS facing the Yankees.
</p>
<p>
In five playoff appearances, including three starts, Sale is 1-2 with an ERA of 5.85. The Red Sox have won six of Sale's last eight home starts and have won 11 of his last 13 starts overall.
