Who has the edge in the pitching matchup?

Kershaw (1-4, 2.76 ERA) is set to counter Jacob deGrom (5-2, 1.51). Kershaw missed nearly the entire month of May due to biceps tendinitis before liming Philadelphia to one run on four hits over five innings of work in a no-decision on May 31. The three-time NL Cy Young Award Sportsbook has made five career starts at Citi Field, posting a 3-0 record and 1.31 ERA.

DeGrom, the owner of the major league-leading ERA, ended a five-start winless drought against Colorado in his last start by holding the Rockies to two runs and five hits over a season high-tying eight innings. The hurler was 0-2 over his previous five appearances despite permitting five earned runs and striking out 44 batters over 36 innings.
