Washington at Los Angeles

Los Angeles has won three in a row after beating Milwaukee 2-1 yesterday with a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Dodgers have won Clayton Kershaw's last nine starts and the opponents have not scored more than two runs in any of them. Kershaw has 133 strikeouts and has allowed just seven walks this season with a 10-1 record and 1.58 ERA. Last year against Washington, the left-hander did not give up a run in 16 innings against Washington while allowing only six hits and the Dodgers have won Kershaw's last seven starts against the Nationals. Stephen Strasburg also is having a stellar season with a 10-0 record and 2.90 ERA although he has allowed eight runs his last 19 1/3 innings. The Nationals lost two straight to the lowly San Diego Padres and they have lost 35 of their last 52 games at Dodger Stadium. Take the Dodgers on the runline.
