Rotoworld on Kershaw’s last outing: Kershaw pitched seven innings of two-run ball Friday in a victory over the Rockies. Kershaw struck out just four, but the Rockies couldn’t make him pay tonight. Since 2013, the Dodgers are 8-1 in Kershaw’s starts at Coors Field
Facing his former team for the second straight start, Cueto gave up two runs in eight innings Friday in a no-decision against the Reds. Cueto seems to be improving the further removed he is from his blister issues. This makes four straight quality starts, and while he hasn’t been dominant in any of them, he has taken his ERA from 5.25 down to 4.15. He’ll face the Dodgers next time out.
Bet Today’s Dodgers vs. Giants Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Giants are 5-2 in Cueto’s last seven starts against the Dodgers, who are just 6-20 in their last 26 games in San Francisco and 1-4 in their last five games against the Giants overall. These two teams met in Los Angeles recently and Cueto out-dueled Kershaw in a close game. With the Giants having won five straight, they’re worth a roll of the dice at home with a sweep of the Dodgers on the line.
