00:00Clayton Kershaw gets the start tonight for the Dodgers.
00:03Tyler McGill on the other side for New York.
00:06The Dodgers now a minus 142 home money line favorite.
00:10Total is nine.
00:11We have seen a lot of offense the last few days in L.A.,
00:14but only seven total runs yesterday, even in 10 innings.
00:18What's the play tonight in Los Angeles?
00:21Yeah, you take a look also at the first start of the year for Clayton Kershaw.
00:25It didn't go all that well.
00:26Four innings pitch, five earned runs.
00:27Actually, through two innings in a game that he started versus the Mets
00:30about a week ago, week and a half ago, two innings pitch, six earned runs out.
00:34Did he leave that for injury?
00:35Was that a rain out or was that a – did he get ejected from that game?
00:38Like, what happened in that game where only threw two innings?
00:40I can't remember.
00:40I thought there might have been a story behind that one.
00:42Rain delay.
00:43Okay.
00:43So, five innings pitch in his last outing at Cleveland.
00:46Very good, Ben.
00:47Only one earned run giving up and scattered six hits here.
00:49So, maybe that will help.
00:50You take a look at that Mets lineup over the first 30 days –
00:52excuse me, the last 30 days.
00:54Hasn't hit left-handed pitching all that well.
00:56Lindor off the charts.
00:57Marte, very good.
00:58Juan Soto is a lefty versus a left-handed pitcher.
01:00Very good.
01:01The rest of that lineup outside of Mark Vientos has struggled a bit here.
01:04But Clayton Kershaw, again, if we can sort of feed off of that last start that he had,
01:07maybe things are starting to point in the right direction for him.
01:10If we take a look at Tyler McGill on the mound today,
01:12struggling a little bit with left-handed batters over the past 30 days,
01:15but it's been pretty clean.
01:17But the one thing we understand about that lineup for the Dodgers,
01:19one through eight, one through eight, it always looks great.
01:21And also, maybe getting back into the lineup tonight is Mookie Betts.
01:25That should help.
01:26Otani, Betts, Freeman, Hernandez, Smith, Muncy Piaz in the first seven tonight.
01:30I do, again, give the slight lean to the Dodgers as I did last night.
01:33And they lost that game because I didn't think Blackburn would be very good.
01:36McGill is better than Blackburn.
01:38We'll see how he performs tonight.
01:39But Clayton Kershaw may be rounding into form here in 2025.
01:42We'll find that out right away tonight.
