How effective he will be is another question. Injuries may have been a part of the 2008 season but the postseason has been adifferent story. With Furcal, Saito, and Kuo at just about full strength, headed into this series the Dodgers now boast the best lineup they have had in years. I'll let Andrew use the numbers to explain the matchups but for me it is going to come down to who has the guns to get from starting pithing to the ninth. On the Dodger side with Kuo back they can throw at the Phillies the same bullpen that wrecked havoc upon the NL before Saito went down. If the Dodgers can get a lead headed into the 6th you would expect that Beimel, Wade, Kuo, Saito, and Broxton will bring that lead home. I'm not sure what to expect from Kershaw in the bullpen. With it being announced that Lowe would pitch on 3 days rest we will be going with a 3 man rotation. Kershaw has the same ability as Kuo to shut down an offense for a few innings. If the Dodgers win this series I expect it will be because of the lock down bullpen they can throw at the Phillies. With three of them lefthanded it might mitigate he damage that Utely and Howard can do. Most of the Phillies rivals in the central have had weak bullpens that they could feast on. That won't be the case here. -- ┼══◢ ══════════ ████ ◢██◣ ═══╯ ╰══┼ ║ █ ◢█ 强 投 豪 打 █ █◤ ◥ ˍ LA ║ ║ █◢█◤ ◢ ◣ ◢█◣ ███◣ ███◣ ↖ — — ║ ║ ███◣ █ █ █ █ ▃ █ █◣ █ \ ε ║ ║ █◤◥█ ◥█◤ ◥█◤ ◥██◤ ◥██◤ \ ║ ┼════════════════════════ψwillmango / ︱ ╭══┼ --
