They began singing the song in the first inning, loud enough to be heard through the strong winds, powerful enough to cut through a deep chill.

His career postseason ERA is almost two full points higher, the highest among all pitchers in MLB history who have made at least a dozen postseason starts.

Kershaw's abominable postseason numbers are now 9-9 with a 4.28 ERA. His career World Series numbers are 1-2 with a 5.23 ERA.

Quite simply put, Kershaw is the worst big game choker perhaps in the history of professional sports. I think the Red Sox wish he makes as many starts against them as possible.
