Well, in the event that Darvish rebounds and pitches well, you have to think his inevitable replacement in the 4th or 5th inning would be Alex Wood, who has three days rest, and save Kershaw for later in case they go to Kenley Jansen in the 8th, presuming the game is close or the LAD have 
a slight lead. Last year, they used Kershaw in a save situation against the Nationals, deciding game, bottom of the 9th, and he got out of a jam.

Justin Turner’s 3 for 23 in this series, after he hit both the Cubs and Dbacks very well, won’t do. It’s time for him to step it up. Bellinger strikes out too much, the bottom half of the order hit or miss, though Logan Forsythe has quietly had a few key hits. I would assume that Hernandez starts over Joc Pederson, but you never know.

It’s really anyone’s game, should be close, could be decided by a small mistake, including a managerial one.
