This is a 6* play on the LA Dodgers.

The Dodgers have inexplicably come up short in back-to-back Clayton Kershaw gems and suffice it to say, we don't expect that to happen a third time as in our professional opinion, the massive talent discrepancy on the mound absolutely justifies in laying this larger price. Kershaw (10-6, 2.29 ERA) has to be feeling a bit better about his offense though as it just went into Cincinnati and swept the reeling Reds; also note that Kershaw has given up one earned run or less in nine of his last ten starts, a stretch which includes two shutouts and an ERA of 0.94. And that's bad news for a Cubs team which comes in off a 9-1 loss at San Francisco last night; the visitors hand the ball to Jason Hammel (7-5, 3.35 ERA) who is 2-4 with a 4.96 ERA in his last 11 starts vs. the Dodgers. This is an important game for both teams, but more so for the DODGERS who also clearly have the superior starting backing them tonight.
