Fantasy Analysis

Kuroda has mostly struggled in his three starts since nearly completing a perfect game on June 23 at the White Sox. He has lost four of his last six starts, seeing his ERA jump up from 1.63 to 4.27 during that span. He's a deeper mixed league option who has the potential to win more often than he has so far. Kuroda will likely get a start in a shortened Fantasy Week 15 as he is fourth in the team's rotation and the team plays four games against Houston. If the team resets its rotation, Kuroda would pitch again next Sunday, July 19.
(Updated 07/08/2009).

Kuroda held the Padres to three runs and four hits in 5 1-3 innings of a 6-3 victory Friday. (Updated 07/04/2009)

Advice

Kuroda improved to 4-1 in six career starts against the Padres, including 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA in two games against them in 2009.
