Kluber's ERA for the series: 12.79. Also roughed up in Game 7 of the WS last year. I wonder if familiarity favours the batter with him, they figure out what to sit on. You got the sense that the Cubs had figured him out the third time around in the WS.  

Meanwhile, lots of Dodgers fans wanting to play Washington, don't want to face the Cubs, who admittedly have those big moment guys like Baez, Rizzo, and Schwarber. But against Washington, unless Dusty Baker inexplicably mangles his rotation, you would face Scherzer and Strasburg in games 2 and 3, then again in games 6 and 7.  It might be better to take your chances against Chicago, despite their postseason heroics, and that sort of intangible quality they've got going for them.
