I flashed back to Orel Hershiser back when I was a kid and how dominated that one year.The Dodgers, the Kansas City Chiefs of the MLB.
Hey, at least the Dodgers make it to the finals. They're more like the Rams.
Uh-oh, trouble in Chavez Ravine. Kershaw had a shaky start and labored through the first couple of innings while Washington starting pitcher Strasburg was excellent. In fact the Washington bullpen kept the Dodger bats very quiet. Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded with two outs and Seager struck out. Ugh.
Kershaw only gave up 3 runs and only got 2 runs support. Headlines were going on about how he had a bad game. This is his post ace period his career, he's still good just not great. Compared to his past playoff performances, it was an improvement.
I would rather see Verlander go up against Flaherty, the veteran vs. the kid.
Of course, I may be just a bit biased against Scherzer at this point...

I don't have any preference in the national league, but having followed the Tigers on their run between 11 - 14 I've got a soft spot for both pitchers. Scherzer was (still is) unstoppable, and it'd be nice to see him get a championship, but I'm sure his salary is a nice consolation prize.
Outside of that I'm leaning towards the Astros, but only because I don't know anything about the national league and the alternative is the Yankees.

Roberts screws it up again, Kershaw has a spectacular and predictable wobble and Kelly sinks the Dodgers two seasons in a row.
