The Los Angeles Dodgers returned home off a couple of losses at Arizona. They bounced back with a 5-1 win over the Tigers on Friday and I expect the Dodgers to close out the week strong. Dodgers' left-hander Clayton Kershaw is 3-0 with a 2.65 ERA in three starts this year. He has this Tigers roster limited to a combined .159 AVG and 19 strikeouts over 42 at bats and Detroit is averaging 2.69 R/9 against right-handers this season.

Detroit right-hander Beau Brieske (0-1, 5.40 ERA) has made only one major league start, in which he allowed three runs on three hits (two homers) over five innings of a 3-2 loss to Colorado. This will most likely be an even tougher game for him, against one of the best teams in baseball.
