Re: MLB: August 23rd 2011 Picks LA Dodgers -1.5 @ 2.50 pinnacle Kershaw is 15-5, with 2.60 ERA as he has won 7 of his last 8 starts, allowing 2 runs or less in these 7 wins while given up just 9 runs. This includes 2 runs or less 4 of his last 5 road starts, and has given up just 6 runs in these 5 road games. Kershaw is 2-2 with a 3.76 ERA against them and will be looking to bounce back from giving up 5 runs in the 9-2 home loss to them in April this year. Lohse is 11-7, with a 3.33 ERA as he has allowed 6 runs in winning 3 of his last 4 starts. He is 2-2 with a 3.78 ERA against the Dodgers as he gave up 2 runs and 6 hits in the 11-2 road win over them in April. While Kershaw edges Lohse with regards to their recent form, the Dodgers bats have been scoring much more than the Cardinals bats have, and like them to win their third successive game over them. August picks: 36-60 (-13.22) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
