GAME 1
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been red hot for nearly two weeks and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a position to cap a rare road sweep of the playoff-hopeful Atlanta Braves. Los Angeles won its season-high sixth straight following Saturday's 2-1 victory on Juan Rivera's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning. Five relievers combined to give up four hits over four shutout innings, sealing the Dodgers' 11th win in 12 games. Clayton Kershaw will take the hill for the Dodgers. The possible Cy Young Candidate has been red hot not only this year but the whole season. Kershaw tossed a six-hitter for his fifth complete game in Monday's 4-1 win over San Diego. The left-hander only struck out five, but continues to lead the league with 212 matching last year's total with more than three weeks left in the 2011 season. Kershaw has surrendered two runs over 31 innings while winning his last four starts. Since the beginning of May, he's gone 15-2 and allowed two earned runs or less in 17 of 22 starts. Los Angeles has won 8 of his 14 road starts this year while he holds a 7-4 decision record supported by a 3.17 ERA. Kershaw has no record and a 2.42 ERA in three starts against the Braves, striking out 25 in 22 1/3 innings.
After twice filling in for the injured Tommy Hanson this season, Braves rookie Randall Delgado will take the hill Sunday in place of 13-game winner Jair Jurrjens. Overall the Delgado has been a desent replacement dispite going 0-1for a record the Braves have a 1-1 record behind him. Considered one of the bright young stars in Atlanta's organization, the 21-year-old Delgado surrendered four runs and seven hits in four innings of a loss to Texas during his major league debut in June. The right-hander bounced back in a big way on Aug. 16 by limiting the world champion Giants to one hit a solo homer by Cody Ross in six-plus innings as the Braves won 2-1 in 11. Uggla, who is among the NL leaders with 32 homers, is 1 for 9 with four strikeouts all-time against Kershaw. Jason Heyward mired in a 3-for-20 slump has struck out all four times he's faced the Dodgers ace. Kershaw is just too hot right now and the Dodgers get the sweep in this rare spot.

3* LOS ANGELES DODGERS -139
