The Dodgers are a bit of a mess right now, as they have lost eight of their last 10. Kershaw has not been the problem, but he hasn’t had much run support in his last two outings, getting just 4 runs combined. Toronto has now won four straight and feeling good about itself. It’s last two losses were by just one run, so they should compete against Kershaw. Dickey hasn’t been strong by any means, but he should be okay against the struggling L.A. bats.
