Hiroki Kuroda is having himself an excellent season for the Dodgers, one of the few things going right for that franchise. That said, he's absolutely awful against the Rockies.

In 9 starts against Colorado, Kuroda is 0-5 with a 5.81 ERA. That said, Colorado was shut down to the tune of 1 run over 6 innings in their last outing against Kuroda. It's anyone's guess how the Rockies will fare against Colorado.

Hammel, however, has made 3 starts against the Dodgers, going 1-2 with a 7.98 ERA. Not a fun time.

It'll be up to the bats to keep Hammel afloat tonight.
