The Dodgers have a Hall of Fame, 250-game winner in Greg Maddux.

They also have a playoff vet who's pitched his share of must-win games in Derek Lowe.

But the guy L.A. is handing the ball to today may have the best shot at keeping the Dodgers alive. Although he's only made one career playoff start, Hiroki Kuroda has shut down the Phls twice already this season.

In each of his two starts, he's held the Phils to two hits and one earned run. The Phils are batting a robust .095 against him this year.

Still, Jayson Werth believe the offensive-stacked Phils can bunk the widely-held theory that good pitching beats good hitting.

"I’ve said that since last year when I got here - I’ve never seen a team hit good pitching better than this team," Werth said Saturday. "I think that starts at the top of the lineup with jimmy and it just continues down the order

"I don’t think it matters who’s pitching, we’re going to have to beat him. If we want to do what we want to do around here, you’re going to have to go through some pretty good pitchers, so this guy is probably on that list."
