Bauer (LAD) 1-0; 4.15 ERA

 

Current odds:

Colorado Rockies: (+270)

Los Angeles Dodgers: (-320)

 

• The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner still has been what Los Angeles were hoping for when he was brought in during the offseason. Bauer (1-0, 4.15 ERA) will take the mound Tuesday when the Dodgers open a three-game home series against the Colorado Rockies. Colorado will counter with Antonio Senzatela (1-1, 5.56 ERA), who got the loss in his first start of the season against Bauer when the Rockies and Dodgers met in Colorado on April 2.

• Bauer had a no-hitter after six innings of his Dodgers debut at Coors Field on the second day of the season but was roughed up in the seventh. He still earned the win while giving up four earned runs. In his second start, at Oakland on Wednesday, he did not get a decision in a 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Athletics. In both games, he struck out 10 and cruised through six innings. He did not get out of the seventh in either game.

• This will be Senzatela’s 12th appearance and 10th career start against Los Angeles, and he’s hopeful it will be more like his gem against Arizona on Wednesday than his short outing against the Dodgers. Senzatela allowed seven runs in 3 1/3 innings of his season debut against Los Angeles but quickly corrected things in his next start when he tossed eight shutout innings against the Diamondbacks.

• Senzatela is 3-4 with a 6.70 ERA in his career against the Dodgers and is looking for his first win at Los Angeles, where he is 0-3 with 6.84 ERA in six appearances (five starts).
