Los Angeles @ Los Angeles picks

Clayton Kershaw owns the Los Angeles Angels. Across 16 starts against his crosstown rival, the left-hander has a 10-2 record and a 1.99 ERA. This is a perfect landing spot for his season debut, pitching at home against a team he’s experienced tremendous success against in the past. The Dodgers have a 17-5 record at home and have covered the run line in 13 of those games. Given their favorable home-road splits, success against LHP, and momentum gained from Kershaw’s return, I’m taking the Dodgers -1.5 on Saturday. The lefty will likely be on a pitch count, but the Dodgers rank sixth in bullpen FIP (3.54) and are well-positioned regardless.
