Dodgers. So we have the same situation that we had here yesterday in game number one.

Two left-handers buying against each other, one a very experienced Southpaw,

one a little bit younger and a good bit less experience.

Downing has idolized Whitey Ford throughout his boyhood

It'll move down, and he also has a little bit of a screwball, plus a good curve.

He has good control and a fine pick-off move to first base.
