Clayton Kershaw has thrown three straight scoreless outings in which the Los Angeles Dodgers have gone 3-0 on the baseball betting lines as the lefthander gets the ball on Wednesday night at home against the Oakland Athletics.
Kershaw has improved to 8-6 with a 2.51 ERA thanks to his recent surge, allowing just 14 hits in his last 26 innings of work while fanning 38 batters. Jesse Chavez (5-10, 3.45 ERA) is the probable pitcher for Oakland for Wednesday.
Editor's Note: Kershaw was scratched from Wednesday's game with a hip injury, with Mike Bolsinger replacing him as the team's starting pitcher for the contest. Bolsinger is 5-3 with a 2.79 ERA on the season.
