Tough matchup against Kershaw.

Some observations:

1) Adams has a .973 OPS against him in 14 PA. I think he should be in the lineup.

2) Phillips has a .809 OPS against him in 29 PA. I hope he's good to go.

3) Ender and Freddie have hit him well. They should obviously be in the lineup.

4) Flowers in a small sample (9 PA) has not. I'd play Recker and have Flowers catch Dickey tomorrow in Arizona.

5) Markakis in a small sample (5 PA) has hit him well. I would rest him and play Santana in right.

6) Kershaw has reverse splits this year (mostly because lefties have had a higher BABIP against him) but has significant conventional splits in 2015 and 2016 and for his career. As a general proposition you want to load up on righties in the lineup. But we have three lefties (Adams, Frederick the Great, and Ender) who have been able to handle him.
