This is a 7* on LA DODGERS

After getting rained out Monday, the Dodgers and Cubs will play two on Tuesday. The first game of the doubleheader sees Clayton Kershaw going for the Dodgers and we’ve got no problem taking him as he’s 4-1 in his last five starts. He’s allowed just four total runs in the five starts and three times he didn’t give up any! That’s despite facing the likes of San Diego (twice) and Cincinnati (MLB’s highest scoring team), not to mention also having to once pitch in an AL park (Oakland) where the DH was in play. Kershaw matches up well against a Cubs lineup that is hitting just .199 in games vs. left-handed starters. At home, the Cubs are batting only .219 for the year, so the fact they are somehow averaging 5.3 runs per game here probably isn’t going to last. Kyle Hendricks hasn’t been good at all for Chicago thus far. You’re looking at a 7.54 ERA and 1.764 WHIP from him so far this season and it’s getting uglier with him allowing seven runs in two of the last three starts. Look for the Dodgers to easily take Game 1 behind Kershaw. Play on LA DODGERS
