Kershaw will face the Marlins and their ace Jose Fernandez. Kershaw is currently -$1.44 at heritage. However, it sounds like Kershaw is far from 100%.
From Heyman:
Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who makes his return start Friday, is “pretty banged up’’ according to a Dodgers connected person. However, that person still expects Kershaw to “tough it out.”
His ability to do so may go a long way toward determining who makes the World Series in a very competitive National League field, with the Chicago Cubs having the best regular season, the Washington Nationals having a dangerous rotation and the Dodgers seemingly en route to a strong finish despite an extraordinary number of injuries.
Kershaw’s been the biggest one, of course. He looked like he was on his way to the greatest season of his unreal career when he went down with a herniated disc in his lower back. The issue, according to someone in the know, has been pain lingering into the next day, or sometimes two days, after his starts.
