Game 61 Thread: June 12 @ Padres, 7p

Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 3.36) vs Odrisamer Despaigne (3-4, 4.72).

Odrisamer Despaigne? I'm getting desperado migraines just thinking about tonight's game. There were a lot of concerns earlier on this season, but everyone is now calling Clayton Kershaw restored, having gone three starts and 22 innings while allowing only two runs. I suppose that was just a misdiagnosed reaper. Meanwhile, the young 28-year-old Despaigne is 0-2 in two starts with a 5.84 ERA against the Dodgers, so allow me some preordained ageisms and predict that this pitching matchup should work in our favor (even though the Dodgers are just 10-15 on the road).
