Giants Unable to Solve Kershaw

The San Francisco Giants have been utterly dumbfounded by Clayton Kershaw throughout his career – though they are certainly not the only team. Kershaw is 17-7 with a 1.60 ERA lifetime against the Giants, which includes going 9-3 with a 1.23 ERA at AT&T Park. The AL West rivals kick off a three-game set in San Francisco Friday night.

Shark Bites
  • The Giants are 8-0 in Johnny Cueto’s past eight starts.
  • The UNDER is 9-2 in the Dodgers’ past 11 games.
  • The Giants lineup has a combined career batting average of .165 against Clayton Kershaw.

The Giants will counter Kershaw with a well-rested Johnny Cueto. Cueto – who enters the start coming off six days' rest – has been fantastic this season and has only allowed four earned runs in his past six starts.

The Dodgers have had their struggles in San Francisco with a dreadful 3-11 record in their past 14 games at AT&T Park. LA has already played in San Fran this season, but ultimately lost the series 2-1 with the final two games of the set going to extra innings.
