AL, NL teams set to begin playoffs
Associated Press
The Kansas City Royals, the last
team to break the American League
West jinx, will try to do it again while
the Los Angeles Dodgers, the last
team to stop John Tudor, face the
same task when baseball’s playoffs
begin with a new best-of-seven for
mat.
On Tuesday night, the AL play
offs begin in Toronto, where the
Blue lays will try to bring the first
World Series to Canada. The Na
tional League playoffs begin
Wednesday night in Los Angeles
when the Dodgers play host to the
St. Louis Cardinals.
Major Leagues start new series format
Pitching often dominates the post
season, and all four teams are well-
equipped.
Tne Dodgers lead the majors in
team earned run average and St.
Louis ranks second in the NL. To
ronto’s staff ranks No. 1 in the AL,
followed by Kansas City.
“Both teams are built around
their pitching,” says left-hander
Jimmy Key of Toronto, who will
pitch Game 2 on Wednesday. “The

best pitching depth should make a
big difference.”
The Royals are the last AL West
team to win the AL pennant, having
beaten the New York Yankees in
1980. Other than the Oakland in
1972-73-74, no West team has won
the league crown since divisional
play began in 1969.
Blue Jays Manager Bobby Cox
starts Dave Stieb (14-13) for Toronto
against Kansas City’s Charlie Lei-
brandt (17-9) in Game 1.
Bud Black (10-15) will go against
Key (14-6) in the second game, and
Bret Saberhagen (20-6) will face To
ronto’s Doyle Alexander (17-10) in
Kansas City in Game 3.
The series will also give Royals
Manager Dick Howser a chance to
get a playoff monkey off his back.
Howser is 0-9 in postseason
games. His Yankees got swept in
three games by Kansas City in 1980,
his Royals lost three straight to Oak
land in the 1981 intradivision play
offs, and Kansas City got swept last
year by Detroit in the AL playoffs.
“I guess I’m going to be hearing
about it,” Howser said with a shrug
of the shoulders. “I heard about it at
nine this morning when I got to the
ballpark.”
Kansas City won the season series
from Toronto seven games to five.
Their meeting should provide some
other interest as Garth lorg platoons
at third base for Toronto and his
brother, Dane, is a utility player for
the Royals.
“It will keep the family sharing in
the profits,” Dane lorg said.
The NL series also features some
pretty hot pitchers. And no one in
baseball is as hot as Tudor, who has
won 20 of his last 21 decisions for
the Cardinals.
Tudor (21-8), leading the majors
with 10 shutouts, will pitch Game 1
against Fernando Valenzuela (17-
10). The game will start at twilight,
which should give the two left-hand
ers even more of an advantage.
Valenzuela and the Dodgers are
the only team to have beaten Tudor
since May 29. Valenzuela shut out

St. Louis 3-0 on three hits on July 20.
“The way he has pitched, they’re
capable of beating anybody,” said
Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda,
whose team won seven of 12 against
St. Louis this season. “But I think
we’re the team to beat.”
Orel Hershiser (19-3), of the
Dodgers, will start the second game
against Joaquin Andujar (21-11). In
Game 3 back in St. Louis, Bob Welch
(14-4) will go against the Cardinals’
Danny Cox (18-9).
Lasorda said he will use Jerry
Reuss (14-10) in the fourth game.
Cardinals Manager Whitey Herzog
is undecided and will probably
choose between Tudor and Bob
Forsch (9-6).
Along with pitching supremacy,
the Dodgers and Cardinals share
something else. They both defied
the odds, overcame sluggish starts
and went on to win their divisions.
“They’re pretty much like our
selves,” said St. Louis cleanup hitter
Jack Clark. “They are a team that
wasn’t supposed to be here.”
