The Arizona Diamondbacks may be eliminated from post-season play but they would love nothing better than to put the screws to Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Tonight they will have that opportunity when they open a 3-game set at Chase Field. We all know Kershaw’s track record and he has been delivering again with a record of 8-5, a 2.45 ERA, and a 1.02 WHIP. In his last 3 turns, Kershaw is 2-0, with a 2.84 ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP however, the Dodgers have struggled at Chase Field, going 3-8 in their last 11 and are 3-8 in Kershaw’s last 11 starts in Arizona. The Diamondbacks will give the nod to Robbie Ray and he has been getting it done. Ray is 6-2, with a 3.92 ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP. In his last 3 starts, Ray is 1-0, with a 2.08 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.92. The Snakes are 4-1 in his last 5 turns and are 5-0 in his last 5 starts at home against the Dodgers. Good spot to consider the home team.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS
