The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a disappointing start to the year, entering this contest with a 2-5 record. They were shut out for a third time in seven games when they lost 3-0 to complete a three-game sweep in Arizona on Wednesday after splitting a four-game set at San Francisco in their season-opening series.

Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda (1-0, 0.00 ERA) did his job though when he knocked out 10 batters over five scoreless innings in Game 3 of that series against the Giants.

Giants left-hander Derek Holland (0-1, 5.40 ERA) on the other hand allowed five runs, three hits and three walks in the 5-0 loss He's 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA in two career starts against Los Angeles.

The Dodgers are better than they've shown so far, and this is a decent enough price to back the defending National League champions.
