But what we have here now are the Cubs in a deficit, something they simply have not faced this season. After they were swept out of the NLCS a year ago by the New York Mets they became, essentially, the 2016 favourites. Sunday night, when Clayton Kershaw and closer Kenley Jansen combined in a 1-0 Dodgers victory, Cubs fans could process it. Hill and Urias were just two of the 15 pitchers who started games for Los Angeles this season. But now, trailing in the series, it can’t matter to the Cubs who stands on the mound for the Dodgers.
