Cleveland Guardians at Los Angeles Dodgers Dodger Stadium 8 Sep
Guardians Aim to Continue Recent Success Against Dodgers
The Guardians will look to continue their recent success against the Dodgers when the two teams meet at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 8.
The Guardians have won four of their last six games against the Dodgers, including a 5-3 victory in their most recent meeting on July 29.
The Dodgers, however, are one of the best teams in baseball and will be looking to bounce back from a recent stretch of poor play.
Bieber to Start for Guardians, Kershaw for Dodgers
Shane Bieber will start for the Guardians on Thursday, while Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers.
Bieber is 9-7 with a 3.15 ERA this season, while Kershaw is 8-4 with a 2.57 ERA.
Both pitchers are capable of shutting down the other team’s offense, so the game could be a low-scoring affair.
Keys to the Game
The keys to the game for the Guardians will be to get to Kershaw early and to avoid making any mistakes in the field.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, will need to be patient at the plate against Bieber and to take advantage of any opportunities they get.
The game is scheduled to start at 10:10 p.m. ET.
