Christian Walker Licking His Lips For NLDS Game 1 Matchup
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker has to be salivating at the matchup that awaits him for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Few, if any, hitters have enjoyed more success than Walker against the future Hall of Famer. The 32-year-old has made 36 career trips to the plate against Kershaw and has gone 10-for-34 (.294) with five home runs and two walks in that time. Granted, Kershaw has struck Walker out 12 times, or in one-third, of those plate appearances but Walker's hefty 1.068 OPS off of Kershaw in a sizeable sample makes him a nice DFS option when Saturday's Game 1 rolls around.
