(Starting Pitchers: C. Kershaw vs C. Richard)
The LA Dodgers will start Clayton Kershaw and he is back into domination mode with one earned run allowed on seven innings on each of his last two starts. He is being incredibly good especially against LH batters with a 0.92 FIP! This is a revenge game for him against the Padres and he lost against San Diego on June 2, even though he allowed just two runs in that outing. I expect Kershaw to have another dominating performance tonight against the Padres.
San Diego will start Clayton Richard tonight, who is coming from his best start of the season, where he allowed just one run on seven hits against Arizona. Richard had just one strike out in that game, but his groundballs worked well. However, it's important to note that Arizona is just #21 on hitting vs LH pitchers this season, while the Dodgers are #14 and with a tendency to improve with Hanley Ramirez back. Even though Richard is coming from a nice outing, he has been one of the worst SP's of the league this season and so, we can't trust him.
The SP edge favoring the Dodgers in here is huge and so, I expect the Dodgers' lineup to be a bit more clutch than they were yesterday, getting a comfortable win in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 959 Los Angeles Dodgers ML (w/ C. Kershaw) @ -139 / 1.72 on 5Dimes
