Dodgers close out April with a sweep
The in an out of April ended with the Dodgers sweeping a three game set from the Phillies giving them a winning record for April at 14 – 12 and a nice four game winning streak to take into May. The offense basically did it on the backs of Justin Turner and Corey Seager with …

Justin Turner inches closer to another homerless April
Last year Justin Turner became the 2nd LAD starting 3rd baseman to ever go homerless in the time frame of March/April. The key criteria is starting 3rd baseman. Turner is just three games away from turning the same trick in 2017. Given how successful his 2016 season was after not hitting a home run in …

Kershaw 33/1 to win MVP
Bovada odds came out today and this one jumped out at me. The 2014 MVP Clayton Kershaw is at 33/1. I know pitchers don’t win MVP awards, but this guy already did, and it is the NL, and he could easily be the best player in the NL again in 2017. Corey Seager is 12/1 …
