The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers kick off the NLCS tonight at Miller Park. Craig Counsell is expected to start the lefty, Gio González. Since being acquired from the Washington Nationals, González has been on his game with a record of 3-0 and a 2.13 ERA but he has not pitched since September 30th. The Dodgers can hit lefties so they had better jump on him early because he will be on a short leash. The Dodgers clobbered the Brewers in their last meeting, 21-5, and will have their ace southpaw, Clayton Kershaw, tapping the rubber. He was spectacular in his last turn against Atlanta, tossing 8 scoreless innings and yielding just 2 hits. Kershaw is 1-1 this season against the Brewers, with a 2.25 ERA, and the Dodgers are 5-2 in his last 7 turns at Miller Park. The Brewers have won 11 in a row but streaks end.
