Clayton Kershaw Ties Dodgers Record for Most Opening Day Wins

It seems Ratajkowski was at the ball game to promote the new Dodger Burger that’s on sale this season at the Bud & Burgers stand inside the stadium.

The Los Angeles Dodgers topped the major leagues for the fourth straight opening day but dropped to $225 million, according to a study by The Associated Press.

This season’s opener was similar to last year’s when the Dodgers hammered the Padres 15-0 at Petco Park.

Of course, it’s wonderful to have the national pastime back in the national spotlight on a daily basis. Which matchups are you most looking forward to in the 2017 season?

In what may be more surprising than the Dodgers holding the top spot is the fact that the New York Yankees have not only not held the top spot since 2013, they now no longer hold the #2 position. Even one of the Dodgers’ weaker opponents, the rebuilding White Sox, has a potential CY Young candidate in Jose Quintana (at the moment).

The Cleveland Indians – out to return to the World Series after falling to the Chicago Cubs in seven games in baseball’s championship showcase a year ago – erased a four-run deficit to beat the Texas Rangers 8-5.

Pujols hit a two-run homer off McCarthy in the third. Keep reading to learn why the boys from LA will beat the Chicago Cubs in the playoffs and go on to win the 2017 World Series.

Considered one of-if not the best-pitchers in baseball, the southpaw earned NL MVP honors in 2015. Seager collected 2 hits in his last game of Spring Training and he looks ready to go and is over his oblique injury.

This team is arguably the most balanced in all of baseball. Scherzer is scheduled to start on Friday against the Phillies in Philadelphia. I got two quick outs and started getting behind. So we thought as an organization, it was good to get him here around our major league players and staff and throw a sim game.

OUR PICK: Even if Kershaw shuts down the Padres as expected, the Dodgers could make this thing ugly versus Chacin.

For Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and company, the upcoming 161 games will no doubt be a grueling and critical gantlet.

Using multiple players on the same team on a given day presents you with the opportunity to double dip.

Of course, a trip to the postseason is guaranteed to no team.

Last year, the Dodgers used a franchise record-tying 55 total players and 31 different pitchers in a season that saw 28 different players land on the disabled list, the most for any team in the last 30 years.

Over on the Dodgers’ side, they’ve got some higher expectations following a 91-71 season.
