Dodgers: Right-handed batters the key to beating Stephen Strasburg?

Friday night at Chavez Ravine, baseball fans are in for a treat as Clayton Kershaw will battle against Stephen Strasburg. Given that Strasburg is a right-handed starting pitcher, the Dodgers’ left-handed sluggers should be in for a productive night right? For the Dodgers, that has not been the case in previous meetings with Mr. Strasburg.

Joc Pederson is just 1-11 against Strasburg with seven strikeouts although he does have one home run. Cody Bellinger has also struggled in the past against Stephen Strasburg going 2-15 with one double and no home runs. Corey Seager is also just 1-12 against Stephen while Max Muncy is an ugly 0-10 with five strikeouts.
