Clayton Kershaw has largely looked like the Clayton Kershaw we all expect this season except for his first start against the Colorado Rockies. In that game, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace allowed eight hits, four earned runs and three dingers while lasting 6.0 innings. Kershaw will look to redeem himself after the mediocre performance when he faces the Colorado Rockies for the second time this season Wednesday.
- The total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Rockies' last 8 games.
- The visiting team is 4-13 SU in the last 17 games between the Dodgers and Rockies.
- The Dodgers are 0-3 SU in their past 3 games while averaging 2.0 rpg.
The Rockies will counter Kershaw with struggling Tyler Anderson. The lefty has allowed at least five hits and four runs in all three of his starts this season but it’s been his lack of control that has really cost him. Anderson has walked six batters so far this season with five of those eventually crossing home plate.
Nolan Arenado is putting up big numbers at the plate once again and it’s not due to the thin air in Colorado. The third baseman is slashing .412/.474/.912 with four home runs and eight RBIs in nine road games this season. In four games against Colorado so far this season, LA has been batting a solid .265 but they will want to see more out of Yasiel Puig who is just 3-for-17 against the Rockies.
