Players To Watch

As the Dodgers prepare to face off against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, all eyes will be on Clayton Kershaw, the ace pitcher for the Dodgers. Kershaw's recent performances have been a mix of brilliance and challenges. In his last game against the Mets, he posted an ERA of 5.786 with a WHIP of 1.9286, striking out batters at a rate of 3.861 per nine innings. Despite not securing a win in that outing, his ability to keep hitters off balance will be crucial in setting the tone early in the game.
