Prediction:

Already struggling mightily to score runs, now the Giants get to face Kershaw. With Los Angeles needing wins in order to climb back to a hopeful first place tie, it has the right pitcher on the mound today. Rodriguez might make it tough on LA hitters, but he won't have much offensive support. Go with the Dodgers on the runline.
