I would hate to lose an elimination game leaving my ace on the bench.....

and starting Kershaw is the easy thing to do. No one is gonna say shite if they start Kershaw. The problem is the win this game first mentality is not correct when you could get two different performances out of the starter.

You basically have to start Urias in game 4 or 5, so why not do it game 4 and give Kershaw the chance in game 5 on full rest. Either way Urias will have to pitch in an elimination game, so that aspect is out the window too.
