You're both missing my point. They apparently don't need him to win.
As long as the injury isn't anything that affects him down the road. Losing him in this series doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.
Would I like him back and healthy this series? Of course, as he may well break out. But even without him, up 2 - 0 the Dodgers would be a prohibitive favorite to close things out. So I don't think it's even remotely a "costly 2nd win" unless it was a career affecting event.
