AAA's 10* SIDE OF WEEK (+$43K BIG TICKET 10* RUN!)
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Colorado,
Money Line: -130.00 LA Dodgers (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the LA Dodgers.

Setting the scene: Kenta Maeda has dominated the Rockies several times this year and he's been unbelievably good when tasked to face them in Colorado's thin air. Jon Gray comes in off a decent effort, but he's been consistently inconsistent of late. In our professional opinion, Maeda and the Dodgers are the correct move in this matchup.

Maeda: He's 13-7 with a 3.37 ERA. Over his last six trips to the hill he's gone 5-0 with a 3.74 ERA, posting 30 K's comapred to just seven walks over 33 2/3's frames. In three outings against Colorado he's 2-1 with a 1.45 ERA with two walks and 22 K's in 18 2/3's innings.

Gray: He's 8-6 with a 4.61 ERA. Gray comes in off a decent outing against Milwaukee on Tuesday, holding the Brewers to two runs off four hits over six innings. Previous to that though Gray had gone 0-2 with a 12.46 ERA in three starts. Gray has struggled against the Dodgers throughout his career, going 1-2 with a 4.35 ERA in four meetings, three of which have come this year (just 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in those contests).

The bottom line: As mentioned off the top, Maeda has thrown very well at Coors Field already this year, going 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA, allowing one walk compared to 13 K's over 12 frames. Gray owns a poor 5.11 ERA at home. We look for Maeda to do just enough to outduel his inconsistent counterpart, play on the DODGERS.
