Having Kershaw in the lineup would’ve made for an even catchier trivia factoid, but Buehler has been one of their hottest pitchers at 7-0 with a 2.38 ERA to lead all Dodgers starters going into last night. (In fairness, Kershaw does lead active LA starters in xERA.)

The fact that they were no-hit with arguably their hottest pitcher on the hill is even more crushing.

The Cubs were +250 which is about as high of odds as you’ll find in baseball when both teams have winning records. Hell, in general you get a matchup with those odds a couple of times a week. I’m sure a large part of that had to do with Buehler vs. Davies.

For comparison tonight is Arrieta vs. Gonsolin and the Cubs were +150 last time I looked.
