Anthony Banda (3-2, 3.14 ERA) vs. Ryan Feltner (3-10 W-L, 4.66 ERA)
Even if he has pitched fewer innings (48.2) this season, Anthony Banda has proved his worth with a good ERA of 3.14 and a WHIP of 1.27. Banda’s low hit and walk rates will be essential for the Rockies’ hitters’ management at Coors Field, where the low hitter’s park serves the hitters right. Likewise, Banda’s pitch strategy will not allow overpowering hitters in the Rockies’ home ballpark.
Ryan Feltner has a 4.66 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over 156.1 innings and he still puts some hope for the Rockies. Simply put, most of the time, it just built you up, and then boom, it came crashing down and gave up racing hits and homers. To put it into simple perspective, the Dodgers are a very good hitting team and Feltner will have to execute to the best of his ability to keep the game within reach.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-103), Total Odds: 11
The betting odds reflect the disparity between the two teams. Considering the small chances of the underdogs in this matchup and the rather high total of runs at 11, a shootout is expected, which is pretty common to Coors.
