If you’re a fan of professional hitters looking like fools, tonight might be a great game for you.
ELIAS: Kershaw/Cole will be first August-or-later matchup of MLB Ks leader vs. Wins leader since Sept. 11, 1973, Nolan Ryan vs. Wilbur Wood.

Two of the best pitchers in baseball go toe-to-toe on Friday night, as Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers (62-46) face Gerrit Cole and the Pittsburgh Pirates (62-44). The Pirates have the best winning percentage of any team that doesn’t play in Missouri and are 36-18 this season at home.
