LOS ANGELES (AP) Clayton Kershaw isn’t sure what to expect from the new-look Mets, whose dramatic transformation in the second half of the season led to them winning the NL East title.
The Los Angeles Dodgers ace faced a mostly different New York lineup before the July trade deadline. Even veteran Mets infielder David Wright was out at the time.
The Dodgers aren’t the same team that got chased out of the NL Division Series by St. Louis a year ago, either. They shipped out Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez and Juan Uribe, and ushered in veterans Jimmy Rollins, Howie Kendrick and Yasmani Grandal.
When Kershaw takes the mound for Friday night’s opener at Dodger Stadium, he’ll be trying to earn just the second postseason win of his career after going 0-4 in his last two series against the Cardinals.
