<p>
Kenta Maeda goes for the Dodgers in this NL West match up and in his first start of the season he gave up three earned runs in five innings of work in a 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres. Last season he was a rookie and went 2-2 with a 1.90 ERA in his four starts against the Rockies. Maeda pitched well in the three starts at Colorado going 2-1 with an ERA of only 2.12 and he held Rockies hitters to a .177 average.

Tyler Anderson goes for the Rockies today and while he had eight strikeouts in his first start of the season he also gave up five earned runs in five innings in a 6-5 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He really struggled on the road last season, but at home was 5-2 with an ERA of 3.00. In two starts against the Dodgers at home last season Anderson was 2-0 only giving up two earned runs in 13 innings of work and he had a no decision against the Dodgers in L.A. in his last start of the season. The Rockies had lost four straight games with Anderson on the hill before getting the win in his first start this season. Colorado is only 2-5 in Anderson’s last seven starts facing teams from the NL West.

L.A. Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
While the Dodgers have lost their last eight games facing a left-hand starter they will get to Anderson today, as he was less than stellar in his first start of the season despite getting the win. Maeda did not have a bad first start, but got zero run support in the loss. That will change today Colorado and while the total has gone under in both games of this season that may change in this game and odds-makers think so with a total of 11 runs. With the L.A. offense getting to Anderson and Maeda having a solid outing those things equal a Dodgers win.
