Open Thread 6/4: Braves at Dodgers

Game 2 of a 4-game series kicks off tonight and it'll be a big one. If the Braves win, they'll have a 10-game winning streak and either have the best record in the National League OR their biggest lead in the NL East since 2005. With the Padres and Phillies playing eachother, they're guaranteed to move up in the standings regardless. I don't know about you, but I'm pulling for the Padres to sweep the Phillies.

Lefty Clayton Kershaw will be on the mound for the Dodgers tonight. He has filthy stuff, but doesn't have full command of his pitches at times. As long as the Braves are patient at the plate, they should be able to get him out of the game relatively early.
