Los Angeles Dodgers
Hyun-Jin Ryu missed nearly all of last season with an injury, pitching only 4.2 innings and before that missed the entire 2015 season.
Both the Dodgers and Ryu are surely happy that he’s back and pitching again.

His first meaningful appearance in essentially two years was a good one, pitching 4.2 innings at Colorado and giving up two runs.
Ryu will surely have innings limits and a close eye from his manager to ensure that he stays healthy all year.
The Dodgers pitching rotation is at it’s best when they have their depth and that includes pitchers like Brandon McCarthy and Ryu contributing as much as they can.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs are simply unfair, they’re 5-2 at the moment of writing this and have done so without yet finding their rhythm offensively. They’re in the middle of the pack of runs scored and near the bottom of the league in homeruns.
Where they really excelled last year, OBP, they continue to do so but are also off their pace.
The reason for their dominance at this point of the season has revolved around their pitching, also known to be near the top of the league. They are tops in the league in K/9 at just over 10 and are top five in both ERA and FIP.

Brett Anderson, in his one start, has contributed to this success with a 1.59 ERA in his first appearance.
It’s his first season with the Cubs and he’ll face off against his old team for the first time.
