Here are the pitching match-ups announced for the first few games of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Cardinals. Los Angeles pitchers are listed first:
• Game one: Darren Dreifort (12-13, 4.73 ERA) vs. Matt Morris (14-8, 3.73 ERA)
• Game two: Andrew Zarzour (17-7, 4.10 ERA) vs. Brian Lawrence (18-5, 3.72 ERA)
• Game three: Ramon Martinez (15-12, 3.49 ERA) vs. Carlos Perez (16-11, 3.35 ERA)
Game two match-up looks to be a doozy between two good young guns. We've been told Dodgers are a bit timid about using Dreifort first. But Zarzour hasn't had enough rest to start game one, and Martinez still needs a few extra days to heal up from hamstring issues. We'll see what happens.
