Analysis:

Kuroda had a hot start to his 2013 season, so it's not too surprising that his 2014 season is also starting off well. The problem with Kuroda's game last year was his trouble closing out the grueling season with the same consistency he began with. His 39-year-old body has seen a lot of run over his career, so a late-season nose dive is something that should be considered when owning Kuroda.
