Should Kershaw pitch on 3 days rest?
They announced they will, but should they? Does this give them the best chance to win the series?
I'm generally anti start on three days rest unless its a final game of the series. Also they can't start Rich hill on full rest for game 5 anyway.
So is Kershaw on 3 days and Hill on 3 days better than Urias and Kershaw on full rest?

You hitch your wagon to your guy. If you're the best pitcher in baseball, making 30 million dollars, and are the face of the franchise, you are the one that's got to get your team through this

Hill has never pitched on 3 days rest, go with the rookie and then Kershaw

I think they should, but history & statistics aren't favorable. Since '95, teams are 9-18 when starting a pitcher on three days rest in an elimination game.

If you've got to win two anyway (and the Dodgers do) and the Nats are throwing a guy that hasn't made it more than 4 innings in awhile (Joe Ross), I'm not sure why you don't hold Kershaw for normal rest. You'll have Scherzer going against the pupu platter in game 5 even if you do get game 4.

Can't get to game 5 if you don't win game 4. Have to pitch your best pitcher. Absolutely pitch Kershaw, even on 3 days rest. You're giving him $30 million a year for a reason.

Yes, especially since you believe he is your best option. There have been multiple teams that have gone to 3 man rotations for playoffs/series.

Nope, because...

Nope.
They have to win both games, so play the best aggregate odds.

2 reasons I wouldn't
Injuries he's dealt with this year
And the fact he's look rather normal in playoff starts to begin with, historically
I understand why they had faith in him but I don't agree at all with this move

Dodgers rode Orel Hershisher in the playoffs in 1988.
He started 3 games against the Mets and came in relief in the 9th two other times. He pitched something like 25 innings in the NLCS.
You ride your big dog as much as feasible.

Absolutely not.
This is a terrible decision. If they had someone else to pitch game 5 on full rest it might make sense (i.e. if game 2 had not been postponed), but there is very little chance Kershaw and Hill both win on short rest. By far their best chance is to steal game 4 against Ross then have Kershaw outduel Shcerzer in game 5.

The injuries he's had this year would be a little concerning. I would probably go with Urias and be prepared to bust out the whole staff in this one if needed, then ride Kershaw in Game 5. There is no easy answer though (obviously). I would be interested to see the list of pitchers who have started on short rest in the playoffs.

100% yes.
Have to win today. Saving players for games that may not happen is ridiculous.
They'd be lucky to get 5 innings out of the kid. Not ready for this kind of pressure.
