After winning the National League’s ERA title and finishing the regular season in the thick of Cy Young Award conversation, Julio Urías will add another honor to his 2022 resume.
— who is San Diego’s fourth-best starter, but will get the nod after the team exhausted the top of its rotation in a three-game wild-card series defeat of the New York Mets this past weekend.would start the Dodgers’ postseason opener, with the team mulling over how to best line up its staff for a division series schedule that was shortened by a day — the off day between a potential Game 4 and Game 5 —because of Major League Baseball’s offseason lockout.
Urías had the better season of the two. But putting Kershaw, who went 12-3 with a 2.28 ERA but also spent two stints on the injured list with back problems, in Game 1 would have given the team a chance to save both pitchers for a possible winner-take-all Game 5. In the end, however, manager Dave Roberts announced during a workout news conference Monday that the Dodgers opted for Urías, marking the first time the 26-year-old left-hander will start the opening game of a playoff series.
Kershaw will start Game 2, while Games 3 and 4 will be started by Tyler Anderson and Tony Gonsolin, though that order hasn’t been determined yet.
