Dem Bums - A Dodgers Blog

The White Sox officially completed the final postseason spot today, but it’s the other Chicago team that the Dodgers will face in the opening round.

Derek Lowe will take the mound for Game 1 on Wednesday night and face Ryan Dempster. Lowe went 6-1 in his last 10 starts, including an undefeated September with a 0.59 ERA. Lowe has had four career starts at Wrigley, with a 1-0 record of a one-hitter back in August 2005. The starter-turned closer-turned starter again, Dempster went 17-6 with a 2.96 ERA this season.
