Could not agree more.
I'm a Braves fan. So of course I don't want to see Kershaw.
BUT - I'm also a lifelong ballplayer, and I totally disagree with this move, regardless of result.
Kershaw just threw the 2nd most pitches he's thrown all year - 124 - and now he's going to come back on short rest in a park that the ball flies out of? Tired pitches stay up. Balls that stay up get hit out. Plus, he's already proven he can win in Atlanta. Add that to the fact that LA is facing Garcia...and I just don't get it.
I understand it from the perspective that it aligns his staff for the next series, but could backfire huge.
No way I'd lay -220 on a guy on short rest. But there may be a little value in getting 2:1 on your money with Garcia.
