The Los Angeles Dodgers won the series opener 4-2 on Friday night, and I expect another comfortable triumph for the Dodgers here on Saturday with three-time NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Kershaw (8-2, 2.84 ERA) has dominated the Nats throughout his career, entering this contest with an 11-3 record behind a 2.18 ERA in 16 appearances (15 starts) against the club. The Nats hand the ball to Joe Ross (0-2, 9.45 ERA) for his mere second start of the season.

The Dodgers have won the last four meetings in Washington.

8* play on LA Dodgers.
