Nate Eovaldi was once on the Dodgers. He sucked, and I'm glad they're rid of him.

He had one decent season in 2013 (still went 4-6 in 18 starts, though), but he's never had a season with a WHIP under 1.317, and his lifetime WHIP is 1.389. The fact that he's 13-2 this year is nothing short of amazing, given his pitching numbers. He's putting Andy Pettitte to shame with luck regarding run support.

Dodgers bullpen has blown several games for Kershaw.
