He just throws a regular curve, actually.

Also, 156 career ERA+, bested only by Mariano and 2 points higher than Pedro. MadBum is 120, for reference.

In 30 games/25 starts in the NLDS and NLCS, Greg Maddux was 9-11 with a 3.56 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP (he was much better in the Series against teams that didn’t see him) and he was still a top-10 pitcher when he retired, so Kershaw unable to figure out St. Louis in the playoffs is whatever at this point when he’s still…

Good thing nobody will have that trouble again for a while.
