The Mets beat the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw 3-1 in game 1 last night.  Because that's what Kershaw does, he loses in the postseason.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had a choice to make before the game, start Kershaw or Zach Greinke.  He went Kershaw despite his tendency to lose postseason games.

Not only does Kershaw lose in the postseason but Greinke had a better season this year and should have started.

Jacob DeGrom was lights out for the Mets making it a fairly easy win for the Mets.  That sense of calm carried into their post game interview where they messed with each other's chairs.

The Mets look really tough.
