Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Dominant against rival Giants

Kershaw was near perfect in his third spring training start, firing three hitless innings while walking one and striking out three against the Giants on Tuesday.

Analysis:

The Giants stacked their lineup with seven right-handed batters in an effort to test their in-state rival's ace. Kershaw walked their leadoff batter, picked him off first, then proceeded to retire the next eight batters he faced. The Dodgers' ace already dismissed any concerns regarding the herniated disk in his back that cost him two months last season, and now he is letting his play do the talking. Kershaw has posted a 0.00 ERA with a 0.17 WHIP in through three spring appearances, confirming the notion that he is the clear-cut top arm in fantasy.
