Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts laughed nervously when asked where his team would be without Clayton Kershaw.
"That's cold sweats," Roberts said. "I don't go there."
There's a reason for that.
Once every five days, the Dodgers are nearly unbeatable, as they were Tuesday night, when Kershaw limited the Angels to one run over eight innings in a 5-1 victory at Dodger Stadium.
In the four days in between, they are one of the worst teams in the major leagues.
The Dodgers are 8-1 when Kershaw starts.
