The Dodgers are 42-8 for the last 50 games, something that hasn’t happened for ANY team since the 1942 Cardinals and only the third overall in the modern era (the 1941 Yankees also did it). And part of the reason they have done so is because of their pitching, such as that of Cy Young-award frontrunner Clayton Kershaw, who’s 8 shutout innings yesterday not only made him the MVP of Yesterday, but put him at a ludicrous 1.80 ERA.
