After a pair of closely-contested games, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami Marlins now meet for the rubber match at Dodger Stadium. The series finale comes with an odd start time for a weekday game in Los Angeles, with first pitch set for 4:35 p.m. PT.
Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for his sixth start and enters with a 1-3 record, 2.45 ERA, 2.90 FIP and 0.97 WHIP. Kershaw coming off a loss to the Washington Nationals in which he allowed a season-high nine hits and four runs in seven innings.
If there’s a silver lining of sorts for Kershaw, he’s gone at least six innings in all five starts, including seven in each of the past three.
