makes sense to me
Kershaw postseason at home: 37.2 innings, 24 ER, 5.73 ERA Kershaw postseason away: 46.1 innings, 17 ER, 3.30 ERA
that's probably not how Roberts thought but i'd save my best pitcher for a possible elimination game anyways |

right but now game 6 is a must-win instead of being ahead

but now the Dodgers have their 2 best pitchers up for 6 and 7, compared to having to potentially start Maeda in an elimination game (no telling how Kershaw would have done today, history shows he's better on the road anyways)
Roberts probably favored his chances of winning pitching duels involving Kershaw/Hill compared to Maeda/Hill lol, and now it's against Hendricks (who Kershaw already beat), and Arrieta (who's gotten blown up already)
(even tho i'd personally start Lackey over Arrieta but Maddon will probably be dumb and start Arrieta) |

i have no problem with kershaw pitching in game 6.
it rests kershaws arm. the dodgers are absolutely atrocious against left handed pitching so game 5 could've been a waste of a kershaw start. |

yeah, i was thinking that, as ridiculous as it sounds, Dave Roberts conceded a game 5 loss to Lester so now the Dodgers face 2 righties with their 2 best lefty pitchers on the mound |
