Joe Torre announced today that the Dodgers will start Clayton Kershaw in Game 1 tomorrow night at the Ravine, followed by Vicente Padilla in Game 2, Hiroki Kuroda in Game 3 back in Philly and Randy Wolf in Game 4.
Personally I'm a bit surprised they opted with Kershaw in Game 1. I was hoping, and thinking, they'd go with Kershaw in Game 2 so that he'd get two starts at home, the second being a possible Game 6. But it looks like Torre wanted to go with the hot hand in Game 1, thus Kershaw gets the nod tomorrow, followed by Padilla.
All that said, Chad Billingsley will likely pitch out of the pen, with Jon Garland likely off the roster for the series, although the final roster has not yet been submitted. Torre said they will wait until the last minute when the roster is due to determine final decisions.
