Los Angeles Dodgers Breakdown
The stars are aligning at Dodger Stadium as Clayton Kershaw closes in on a legendary milestone, just three strikeouts shy of 3,000 for his career. The lefty ace (4-0, 3.03 ERA) has dominated since returning, winning each of his past four starts. At home, under the lights, Kershaw has a golden opportunity to etch his name beside legends like Randy Johnson and CC Sabathia.
Clayton Kershaw Method & Pitch Type Props
Offensively, Shohei Ohtani continues to do Shohei things. His 30th homer of the year on Tuesday helped fuel a 6-1 win, making it five straight seasons with 30+ bombs. He’ll look to stay hot in Game 2 as the Dodgers aim to notch another dominant win.
Player Prop Pick – Clayton Kershaw: To record 6+ strikeouts
Kershaw’s chasing 3,000 and faces the strikeout-prone White Sox lineup. The stage is set.
Chicago White Sox Breakdown
If there’s one thing the White Sox have been good at, it’s showing up for other teams’ highlight reels. With MLB’s worst team batting average (.220) and over 740 strikeouts on the year, they’re tailor-made to be Kershaw’s final three Ks on the road to greatness.
Lefty Brandon Eisert (2-1, 4.33 ERA) gets the “opener” nod in what’s likely a bullpen-heavy night. This will be his first outing against the Dodgers, a brutal task at Dodger Stadium with Ohtani heating up and Kershaw likely throwing darts.
Player Prop Pick – Lenyn Sosa: To record a hit
Sosa’s been one of the few bright spots in the lineup and picked up two knocks on Tuesday. He’s showing fight even if the rest of the team isn’t.
Prediction & Betting Outlook
Kershaw hits 3,000 in front of a buzzing home crowd, the Dodgers cruise behind his arm and Ohtani’s bat, and Chicago once again plays the role of polite guests in a historic MLB moment. Lay the juice or look toward the run line. Clayton Kershaw Props
