Interesting thought joeyboy. The Yankees as it turned out pitched very well against the Astros and overall matched up pretty well with them despite their superiority offensively during the year. I am far from an expert when talking about the Yankees as a whole but I do think that Kershaw would have made certain Yankee players look bad especially Judge in my opinion. Kershaw for the most part stunk in the post season like he normally does. During the regular season he is one of the best in the game. What really impress me about the Yankees is how how good their bullpen really is and they were also getting very good starting pitching from Tanaka and CC. I think if the Yankee pitching staff continued their excellent pitching they too could of beat this Dodgers team. The Dodgers also have a good bullpen and some of their starters were okay but Darvish, yikes!!! He is a free agent this year and although he had a decent year his world series numbers are dreadful and many may look at these numbers and the fact he also has a tear that hasn't affect him.
