Tyler Anderson will take the mound for the Dodgers on Tuesday. Over his 28 games (26 starts) so far Anderson is 15-4 with a 2.52 ERA. In 167.2 innings total he has 47 earned on 136 hits and 34 walks with 125 Ks.

Meanwhile, the Padres are 4-0 in their last four Tuesday games and 15-2 in their last 17 after an off day. San Diego is 7-2 in their last nine overall.
PICK: I’m probably staying Dodgers here, but I could go either way. Both pitchers have been great over their last two outings. Anderson has 13.0 combined innings with zero earned on seven hits and four walks—he’s got a tough-luck loss versus Arizona mixed in there, though. As for Snell, he’s 2-0 in his last pair with 14.0 innings, one earned, six hits and two walks. This should be a really fun starter battle regardless, and I imagine it’ll be close.
