Los Angeles Dodgers @ Toronto Blue Jays
Friday, May 6, 7:07 PM EDT , Rogers Centre
Kenta Maeda, RHP
Maeda had his start delayed to Friday so he, instead of the southpaw Alex Wood, could face the Blue Jays and their right-handed sluggers. The Japanese rookie is coming off the first loss of his MLB career, a bump in an otherwise excellent start.
VS
Marcus Stroman, RHP
Stroman will face the Dodgers for the first time. He is coming off a career-best nine strikeouts against the Rays and used four pitches in his arsenal to reach that total. The sinker is his bread and butter, but his six-pitch mix has been key.

Clayton Kershaw, LHP
Kershaw had easily the best start of what had already been a consistently great season so far, going the distance to shut out the Padres while striking out 14. His ERA is now down to 1.96, with his record at 3-1.
VS
R.A. Dickey, RHP
Dickey appeared to turn a corner during his last outing vs. Texas. He had a slow start to the year but allowed just one run over 6 1/3 frames en route to his second quality start. He has 64 QS since the start of '13, which is 5th in AL in that span.

Ross Stripling, RHP
Stripling had another short start on Saturday vs. the Padres, allowing five earned runs in 4 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old’s ERA has raised with every start this season and he hasn’t reached the sixth inning since April 14.
VS
Marco Estrada, RHP
Estrada continued to his strong start to the season by pitching six innings and allowing one run against Texas on Tuesday.
Kershaw vs Dicky should be fun
