Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball - when he doesn't face the Cardinals. The Dodgers are 6-11 against St. Louis the last 17 times Kershaw has gone against the Cardinals.
Kershaw isn't having his typical dominant season either so far with a 4-3 record and 3.73 ERA. He has a 5.69 ERA in his last eight games against the Cardinals.
The Dodgers have key injuries on offense and have scored three or fewer runs in 15 of their last 20 games. LA would be 2-8 in its last 10 games if laying 1 1/2 runs.
Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia has been held back because of injuries not lack of talent. The lefty has been strong in three starts since coming off the DL posting a 2.70 ERA. Note, too, that the Dodgers' OPS versus southpaws is .693 compared to .806 against righties.
