Kershaw emerges as a clear streaming option in September, with Dodgers entering soft stretch Weeks 23-24. If he remains in the rotation, he offers reliable win potential and solid ratios in favorable matchups, though workload management could cap his ceiling late in the season as Los Angeles eyes post-season play.

Kershaw has sparked playoff talk with a late-season surge, posting a sub-2.00 ERA in the last month and maintaining control while his velocity sits lower than peak. His role in the postseason rotation is becoming a live debate.

ERA 2.99 in his last five starts; Kershaw’s recent form anchors the Dodgers’ rotation and supports a favorable start projection in this Lodolo matchup, providing a reliable DFS and betting touchpoint in a high-stakes game.

Kershaw logged five innings with two hits, no walks, and six strikeouts. Over his last 16 starts he’s posted a 2.67 ERA, reinforcing his value as a postseason option and anchoring the Dodgers’ rotation down the stretch.

Kershaw’s August arc is vintage: five innings, 14 straight outs, and a 5-0 record with sub-2.00 ERA. He minimizes damage early, relies on craft and sequencing, and anchors a Dodgers rotation that can lean on him when the order breaks late in the season.
