Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the LA Dodgers.
Setting the scene: Zach Greinke faces his former team for the first time tonight. Greinke has been decent since the All Star break, but hasn't been at his best in this position all year. His counterpart Kenta Maeda continues to grind out consistent outings. We think Greinke struggles again tonight, while Maeda continues to go about his business with another solid effort.
Greinke: He's 12-4 with a 4.17 ERA. He's struggled on the road as evidenced by his 5.50 ERA. His current 4.17 ERA is his worst since 2010 and he's already allowed 140 hits while striking out just 114.
Maeda: He's 13-8 with a 3.37 ERA. Maeda threw for eight years in Japan's Central League, so can hardly be looked upon as a rookie. In his final campaign in Japan he'd post 15 wins while compiling a tiny 2.09 ERA. He comes in off a tough luck loss vs. the Rockies in Colorado, allowing two runs off four hits and a walk over five innings.
The bottom line: Previous to that though Maeda had won four straight starts while allowing 28 hits and only seven walks in 33 2/3's innings while getting 30 K's in the process. We think Greinke folds under the pressure while Maeda continues his strong season. Play on the DODGERS.
