<p>Last season was the best season of Kelly’s career, but if he didn’t have to deal with the Dodgers at all, his numbers would have been even better. </p>
<p>Here’s how Kelly fared against the rest of the league, compared to how he fared against the Dodgers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Kelly vs the Dodgers (five starts): 0-5, 8.25 ERA, 24.0 IP, 32 H, 22 R (22 ER), 15 BB, 26 K</li>
<li>Kelly in 28 starts vs other teams (28 starts): 13-3, 2.71 ERA, 176.1 IP, 135 H, 55 R (53 ER), 46 BB, 151 K</li>
</ul>
<p>For his career, Kelly is 0-9 with a 5.97 ERA in 12 starts against the Dodgers. In those 12 starts, the Diamondbacks have won just once, an 11-5 win at Chase Field on August 29, 2019.</p>
<p>Also, of the 11 games that the Dodgers have won, eight have come by multiple runs. That isn’t surprising at all, given what L.A.’s usual results. Last season, 96 of their 111 regular season wins were by two or more runs.</p>
