Game 116 Thread: Aug 8 vs. Blue Jays, 7p

Avert your eyes, or you'll be banished to L.A. Law!

Clayton Kershaw (217 wins, lifetime) vs. Max Scherzer (218 wins, lifetime).

It's a clash of MLB win titans today, with Clayton Kershaw and former Dodger Max Scherzer dueling it out on the mound. On the all-time leaderboard, Scherzer has the edge on IP (2919 to 2808) and strikeouts (3,451 / 11th place to 3,010 / 20th place), but Scherzer is also three years older than Kershaw.

The bigger issue here, though, is that the AL East-leading Blue Jays (68-48) are hot, while the NL West-leading Dodgers (66-49) are most decidedly not. As we dropped two of three to the mediocre Cardinals earlier this week, the Blue Jays were scoring 45 runs in their series against Colorado. I'm not hopeful.
