Our Clay Is The NL Player Of The Week

Congratulations to Clayton Kershaw on yet another achievement!
Kershaw was a perfect 2-0 in two starts last week, leading the Majors with 16.0 innings pitched and tied for the lowest earned run average (0.00) among qualifying starters. Over his two outings, the 2011 N.L. Cy Young Award winner added 10 strikeouts with three walks and 10 hits while not allowing a home run. On Monday, May 14th, the Dallas, Texas native tossed 7.0 shutout innings, striking out six and allowing just four hits in the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. On Saturday night, Kershaw outdueled St. Louis Cardinals starter Jake Westbrook in a 6-0 shutout at Dodger Stadium.

Seems to me that Dodgers have dominated the POTW population this year.

Theoretically someone (e.g., not me) could do some so-called "research" and note the number of Dodger winners and the amount of weeks thus far in the season, and derive the answer.
