This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the LA Dodgers.

Mike Fiers has been excellent over the last month or so for Detroit and just the other day he was traded to Oakland. He draws a tough first matchup out of the gates though and we think he'll predictably stumble. The visitors go with ace Clayton Kershaw (5-5, 2.55 ERA) who gave up two earned runs off five hits with two walks while striking out seven over six innings in a victory over Milwaukee on Thursday. Kershaw is starting to return to form, as he'd generate 15 swinging strikes with 67 of his 98 total pitches going for strikes as well. Kershaw has now posted six straight quality starts, a stretch in which he's gone 4-1 with 35 strikeouts. Fiers (7-6, 3.48) posted a 2.10 ERA over six starts before the trade, but as mentioned off the top, we think "nerves" are going to get the veteran in this spot. And that leaves the door wide open for Kershaw and the DODGERS to comfortably sneak through to grab another victory. Lay the price.
