Is Clayton Kershaw Declining?

Going into last night’s game, Clayton Kershaw had the highest ERA I can remember at this juncture. His ERA was 3.33 before the game and 3.66 after he gave up 5 ER. However, his WHIP sits at 1.01 which is barely above his career average of 1.00. He is now 33 years-old and has started 369 games and pitched 2,403 innings with 2,603 strikeouts. He has 77 strikeouts in about 1/3 of a season, so it seems very likely that he will get the 85 more strikeouts he needs to pass the late Don Sutton and hold the Dodgers All-Time strikeout record.
