Bet Tonight’s Dodgers vs. Rockies Game
Kazmir allowed four runs on seven hits over just four innings in a loss to the Giants in his last start. The loss dropped him to 1-1 on the year and he’s posted a 6.43 ERA and a 5.40 FIP through 14 innings of work. His 7.71 strikeout rate is pedestrian and his 3.21 walk rate is below average as well. Since pitching six shutout innings against the Padres in his season debut, he’s been roughed up in two starts since.
