The Dodgers have a winning road record and are riding a 10-6 run. The offense is seventh in baseball in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, fifth in slugging, and have their ace going tonight. Starter Clayton Kershaw (2.86 ERA) has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last five starts and is 5-0 with a 1.03 ERA against light-hitting San Diego the last four years. He is also 17-6 with a 1.94 ERA in 32 career starts against San Diego. The Dodgers are on a 14-5 run on the road, as well as 12-3 following a loss. Kershaw faces a San Diego offense that is #27 in runs scored, #28 in on-base percentage, and #29 in slugging. They played 16 innings yesterday against Arizona, part of a 5-15 skid. Padres starter Luis Perdomo (6.86 ERA) has allowed 43 base runners in just 19+ innings and fell to 1-5 with a 9.55 ERA all-time against Los Angeles after surrendering nine runs and 10 hits over three innings on April 18. The Padres are 4-12 when Perdomo faces a winning team, and the Dodgers are 36-17 in the last 53 meetings. Play the Los Angeles Dodgers.
