| Best Line | DraftKings |
On Tuesday we head to Dodger Stadium to play an All-Star Game NRFI.
The National League will start an NRFI Hall of Famer, Clayton Kershaw. Since 2020, Kershaw is 40-9 to the NRFI with a 19-3 NRFI home split in that same time span.
He has been just as dominant in 2022, going 11-1 overall with a perfect 5-0 home split. Kershaw also dominates the team's lead-off hitters at home to a .121 average.
Nearing the end of his outstanding career, Kershaw will take the mound possibly one last time in an All-Star Game and it gets to be at his home field. A motivated Kershaw will put on a show for his hometown.
This AL lineup may be star-studded, but they haven’t beat up on Kershaw:
- Shohei Ohtani: 0-for-8
- Aaron Judge: 1-for-3
- Giancarlo Stanton: 5-for-18
The American League will counter with an up-and-coming NRFI legend, Shane McClanahan. Since Entering the league in 2021, McClanahan has had an extreme workload, allowing him to boast an amazing 34-10 NRFI record.
When facing hitters the first time, he has held them in check, only allowing a .163 average. This is McClanahan's first All-Star Game and he will look to leave a good first impression.
With McClanahan being so young, he has little experience against these NL hitters leaving him a slight advantage. here are his best matchups:
- Paul Goldschmidt: 0-for-2
- Willson Contreras 0-for-3
- Trea Turner 0-for-1
Despite it being an All-Star Game with the league's-best hitters, the NRFI has been on a tear. Since the 2016 All-Star Game, there has only been one YRFI and it came back in 2016.
The NRFI has now gone on a 4-0 run. We will look to make it five in a row tonight with Kershaw at home and the young 25-year-old-year-old in McClanahan.
