The matchups give the Dodgers an advantage, not just in every game, but in every permutation of matchups except a Minor vs Nolasco battle.

Game 1, Kershaw v Medlen – Dodgers 87.9%
Game 2, Greinke v Minor – Dodgers 51.9%
Game 3, Ryu v Teheran – Dodgers 61.0%
Game 4, Nolasco v Garcia – Dodgers 62.5%
Game 5, Kershaw v Medlen – Dodgers 87.9%

That works out to an expected Dodger series victory 85.45% of the time.
