Count the Dodgers as among the many teams who don't care to play at Coors Field. LA has lost five in a row there, but are decent-sized favorites today with Kenta Maeda taking the mound against Tyler Chatwood.

Maeda has been fantastic so far with a 0.47 ERA in 19 innings spanning three starts. Those starts have come at San Diego and twice at Dodger Stadium - both pitcher's parks. He's been lucky, too, with a high strand rate.

Now Maeda makes his first appearance at Coors. No field through the years has been better for offense and that's holding up again this season as a major league-high 14.4 runs and 3.6 home runs are being scored there per game. The Rockies lead the majors in team average at .303 and OPS at .943. They have won their last three home games, averaging 9.3 runs and batting .377 during this time frame. Expect a lot of runs again today as the wind is blowing out at close to 20 mph.

The Rockies also are expected to get back starting catcher Nick Hundley today.

Colorado starter Tyler Chatwood is under-the-radar having been sidelined most of 2014 and 2015 following elbow surgery. Chatwood always had a high ceiling, though, and he displayed that in his last outing shutting out the Cubs, 2-0, at Wrigley Field this past Sunday. Chatwood held the Cubs to two hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and one walk.

Colorado is 7-1 the past eight times Chatwood has been an underdog, a winning percentage of 88 percent. The Dodgers are 1-5 during their last six road games when Clayton Kershaw hasn't pitched.
