No pitcher has been better than Clayton Kershaw for quite some time. Kershaw has been a model of consistency on the mound. Kershaw has allowed three or fewer runs in 64 of his last 69 starts, and I don't recall a pitcher over the last decade, maybe longer, that can boast of such a stat. This season he has done it in 20 of 21 starts. He is 15-3 on the season with an ERA of 1.82. Wade Miley has been poor at home just like the Diamondbacks have been as a team. Miley has made 13 starts here and has an ERA of 6.20. Those numbers don't look good in the situation today, facing a pitcher than almost never allows more than three runs. The Dodgers own a 79-25 mark in their last 104 as a favorite from -201 and up. LA has dominated this series, and own an 8-2 mark in their last 10 in the desert. Take the Dodgers.
