Jackson gets Kershaw in return to mound

CHICAGO -- It's a matchup the Las Vegas oddsmakers probably haven't seen a lot of action on. According to ESPN Stats & Information, for just the second time since earned runs became an official statistic in 1913, a starter with a sub-2.00 ERA will face one with an ERA of 6.00 or higher with a minimum of 20 starts. In this case, it's Edwin Jackson (6.09) of the Chicago Cubs set to face Clayton Kershaw (1.70) of the Los Angeles Dodgers at 1:20 CT Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
