Pitching Matchups:

Monday: Mike Bolsinger (1-3, 5.75 ERA) vs. Zack Greinke (8-3, 3.84 ERA)

Tuesday: Kenta Maeda (5-4, 2.70 ERA) vs. Archie Bradley (2-2, 5.22 ERA)

Wednesday: Clayton Kershaw (9-1, 1.52 ERA) vs. Patrick Corbin (3-5, 4.81 ERA)

Zack Greinke facing his former team might be the major storyline, but Clayton Kershaw’s start will be the highlight of the series. He’s having the best year of his career so far– just look at his 20.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

This is a mind-blowing number– especially considering that Noah Syndergaard is in second with a 7.82 ratio. The Dodgers are 12-1 when Kershaw starts so his value to his team speaks for itself.
