Lance McCullers, Jr. and Yu Darvish will start Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, but Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel will be looming in the bullpen.
McCullers started Game 3 of the World Series, but struggled with his command, walking four batters and giving up three runs in 5 1/3 innings. He eventually received credit for the win as the Houston Astros won 5-3.
Houston could even have Game 6 starter Justin Verlander as a weapon in the decisive game.
"I think all of our guys will have the adrenaline on their side," A.J. Hinch said. "They are all going to be ready."
Kershaw joked that he could give the Los Angeles Dodgers 27 innings. He would be pitching on two days of rest after throwing 94 pitches in Game 5, when he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings.
