MLB Free Pick: Take L.A. The Dodgers don’t have much to play for as they are seemingly out of the playoff running, but Kershaw is too good to pass up. The price is nice at –113 and even though Lohse figures to pitch well again for St. Louis, Kershaw has been nearly unbeatable for the Dodgers this season. According to latest MLB trends, the Dodgers are 7-1 in Kershaw’s last eight starts and 4-1 in his last five road starts. They’re also 16-5 in his last 21 starts as a favorite and 5-1 in his last six starts following a quality start in his last appearance. On the other side, the Cardinals are just 2-10 in their last 12 games versus a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15 and 0-4 in their last four during Game 2 of a series. They’re also 1-4 in Lohse’s last five starts as an underdog and 1-5 in his last six starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game.
