Miami at Los Angeles

This is the fifth game of a 10-game road trip for Miami, 3,000 miles from home. The Miami offense is weak at #27 in baseball in runs scored. The Marlins trot out starter Tom Koehler (1-2, 4.80 ERA), who has allowed 26 base runners in 15 innings. He faces an L.A. Dodgers' offense that is seventh in baseball in runs scored, plus ninth in on base percentage and batting average. The Marlins are 3-10 on the road against a left-handed starter and face the best pitcher in the game in Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 1.50 ERA). He has 30 strikeouts and three walks allowed in 30 innings. Kershaw is 5-2 with one shutout, a 1.91 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP in eight career starts against Miami, limiting the club to a .181 batting average. The Dodgers are 71-34 in their last 105 home games, including 55-24 when Kershaw starts at home. Look for a one-sided rout by the home team. Play the L.A. Dodgers on the runline.
