After all of these seasons, I think the rest of the National League has final figured out how to beat Clayton Kershaw. This season all the other teams have to do is score one run. Score the one run, get Kershaw out of the game after about seven innings, and then lay the Dodgers bullpen to waste.
Evidently for the Dodgers to score more than one run when Kershaw pitches, Kershaw is going to have to pull a Steven Matz of the Mets and drive in all of his team's runs himself. The only problem with that theory is that there would actually have to be Dodger runners on base for Kershaw to be able to drive them in.
Clayton Kershaw has a 5-6 record with a 3.08 record and has pitched much better than his record indicates. Bartolo Colon of the New York Mets has nine wins but a 4.55 ERA, and Chris Heston (eight wins) and Tim Lincecum (seven wins)of the Giants both have ERA's hovering around 4.00. If only Clayton could get some run support.
