8* play on LA Dodgers.

The Dodgers lost Game 1 of this series in Colorado, but I like their chances of bouncing back with a win in Game 2 at Coors Field. The Rockies are playing surprisingly well, trailing the first place Dodgers by just a half a game in the NL West. I don't like their chances against a hot LA pitcher Saturday though.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Dodgers sent Kenta Maeda to the mound, and he's 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his first three major league starts. He went seven innings, allowing one run on four hits, striking out seven in a home win over the Giants in his last start.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Adrian Gonzalez loves playing against the Rockies, he's batting .293 with 10 home runs and 48 RBIs against the Rockies since 2013.

3. X-Factor - Colorado's bullpen has struggled mightily so far this season, as only the Cincinnati Reds have a higher ERA by reliever.

Selection: This is a play on the LA Dodgers (8*)
