LHP Clayton Kershaw (17-3, 2.12 ERA) is slated to pitch Monday in Philadelphia. "His routine is locked in," new Dodgers LHP Tony Watson said of Kershaw. "You always hear about starting pitchers, that they do the same thing and (are) regimented. He is probably the best I seen at that. Every day has a plan, and he attacks the plan. Everything is done with a purpose. He is one of the most prepared guys I have seen. The four days he is not pitching, he is on the top steps of the dugout (cheering). He is a great teammate. He always has advice. That is pretty special, I think."
