FACTS/FLUKES: Kershaw, Chen, Freeman, Kingery, Bell

Skills fading for Kershaw?... Clayton Kershaw (LHP, LA) has missed time with back issues for the third straight season, and he hasn't quite lived up to his standards when on the mound. He has had better results lately, though, as he's surrendered just 12 earned runs in 55.2 innings over his past eight starts, along with a 49/3 K/BB ratio. Can owners be fully confident in Kershaw's performance for the rest of 2018, and heading into next season?
