Any time Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright take the mound, it's a big occasion. When they face each other, it's downright exhilarating.

But when the two best pitchers in the senior circuit square off in the postseason? It's an absolute must-watch event. That's what baseball fans will get in Game 1 of the National League Division Series between the Cardinals and Dodgers on Friday in Los Angeles.

Kershaw more than likely locked up his third Cy Young award by posting a 1.77 ERA and striking out a career-high 10.8 batters per nine innings during the regular season. Wainwright was no slouch himself, tossing 227 innings and finishing with a 2.38 ERA.
