Bet Tonight’s Cardinals vs. Dodgers Game
From Rotoworld: Lynn allowed four runs – two earned – over six frames in Tuesday’s loss to the Red Sox. Lynn surrendered a leadoff home run to Mookie Betts and another solo shot to Jackie Bradley in the second. That’s back-to-back games in which the big righty has served up two homers, which is unusual for him. He mostly settled in after that but wasn’t helped by a couple errors behind him.
Kershaw tossed seven innings of three-hit, shutout ball in Wednesday’s 6-1 win over the Giants. Kershaw was on his game from the start and did not allow a hit until Justin Ruggiano finally picked up a single with one out in the fourth inning. He did not walk a batter in the contest and struck out five in what was a crisp, effective outing against the rival Giants. The ace southpaw needed just 89 pitches to complete his seven innings of work. For the season as a whole, he is pitching to a typically masterful 2.15 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 62/8 K/BB ratio across nine starts.
