MLB Odds: Guardians vs. Dodgers prediction, odds, pick

Zach Plesac is starting for the Guardians. Clayton Kershaw is getting the ball for Los Angeles Dodgers. The game is a big one for Kershaw as he is making his second start since his injury. The team needs him to be healthy and good in the coming weeks. They need him as Walker Buehler is out for an extended period of time. He has a 4.70 ERA. Plesach has shown signs of settling into a better rhythm in his last three starts. In his first three games of the season, he posted a 1.53 ERA, but after that, his ERA skyrocketed to 5.40.

The Dodgers are not hitting the ball well. Mookie Betts went over 10 days without scoring a run. The Guardians are on a roll and just swept the Rockies in Denver. They are playing fantastic baseball and are a real problem for every opponent they play.

After Tyler Anderson's near-no-hitter against the Angels, everyone in the Dodger dugout feels great. The team has been able to fight off a bad stretch of baseball. Zach Plesac is an opposing pitcher they can feast on.

Kershaw should be able to play five innings and give the Dodgers two runs.
