Washington Nationals
Scherzer followed up his scoreless complete game by pitching yet another gem against the Colorado Rockies. He was able to go seven innings giving up two earned off of one hit while striking out 11 and one walking one. Just Scherzer being Scherzer. He now owns a walk-to-strikeout ratio of 4:38!
The numbers are beautiful – a 12.67 K/9, a 1.33 BB/9, a .67 HR/9 and a 1.33 ERA and 1.64 FIP. I may start tearing up from looking at something as pretty that. He’ll be due for the occasional bump in the road, but he is one pitcher I’ll dare not go against.

Washington has gone a sub-par 3-4 in the last week, while they are only slashing .226/.318/.380 in that span. They’ve managed to smack 17 extra-base hits and 28 RBI in that time as well.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Kershaw pitched another gem in his first start, as he collected the win against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He traveled seven innings giving up one earned off of two hits while striking out 12 and not giving up a single walk.
He hasn’t given up a walk in his last two outings while he currently owns a terrific walk-to-strikeout ratio of three walks to 31 strikeouts. The only thing that really concerns me for Kershaw is that he has given up four home runs in four starts. Even so, they were all solo shots, so thats about all I can really nitpick against him.

Los Angeles’ lineup has finally picked up from where they left off last year slashing .279/.360/.450 while crushing 24 extra-base hits and 42 RBI in the last week. They’ve gone 4-2 in that span.

Free Washington Nationals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Prediction: Kershaw, Dodgers take down Nationals in epic pitching showdown
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Dodgers -134
Don’t get me wrong, Scherzer has been fantastic, but he is due for that bump in the road. Los Angeles seems to be going through a nice hot streak and when you add one of the best pitchers in baseball to back you up, then more times than not you’re going to win. Washington has struggled against lefties only slashing .189/.320/.283. Back the home team in what will be the best pitching matchup of the year.
