Good question but I'll bet if it wasn't him it would have been Kuroda which is even more of a mystery.

Why :-?

They have two pretty solid arms in Billingsley and Kershaw :-?


That's my point. Torre seems to like Kuroda too. Bills or Kershaw are definitely their two best pitchers.

Kershaw is their #2 and Billingsley #3.... I suppose Torre just didn't want Kershaw having the pressure of being the ace already at this point in his career.

Right, and I think Torre wants to give Kershaw as many home starts as possible this year, where he's been much more effective. Also, Torre gets the idea that Billingsley isn't quite comfortable about being banked on as the Dodgers' #1.

As for the game, it was right where the Dodgers left off last year, I'm afraid. :-S
