This is a 9* on LA DODGERS

The Dodgers and Padres are renewing their rivalry this weekend and things got off to a good start for the road team with a 3-2 win last night. But the Dodgers remain the class of baseball and aren’t about to lose two straight. While they have lost three of four, at no point this season has LA been beaten by the same opponent two days in a row. In fact, they’ve yet to lose two games in any series! They won two of the three games at San Diego last weekend. Clayton Kershaw is pitching tonight and he’s been dominant over his last three starts, turning in a 0.47 ERA and 0.68 WHIP. Last Saturday he kept San Diego scoreless with six innings of two hit ball to improve to 22-7 against them all-time. That .759 win percentage is Kershaw’s best against any team in his Hall of Fame career. In 41 starts vs. the Padres, his ERA is 1.99. Once again, he faces Yu Darvish. Darvish was also great last Saturday in giving up one run in seven innings. But it’s just tough to envision San Diego winning twice in a row here as the Dodgers 89-34 at home the last three seasons and are allowing only 2.1 runs/game here this season. Very cheap price on the Dodgers at home. Play on LA DODGERS
