Los Angeles at Washington

The Washington Nationals are a surprising 9-8 through their first 17 games, while the Dodgers enter here below .500. Clayton Kershaw should be able to stop the bleeding as he has allowed 3 runs or less in 11 of his last 12 starts dating back to last season. Craig Stammen hasn't exactly been a stopper for the Nats entering here with an 8.16 ERA. Stammen has led the Nats to a dismal 0-8 mark starting game two of a series. I will back the Dodgers in this one.
