Opposing Anderson will be Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw in what may appear to be a mismatch, but its one that Anderson has actually been looking forward to since high school, he told MLB.com.
"He's one of the best pitchers in the game, so I'm excited," Anderson said.
In his last start, Anderson yielded a home run and one other hit while striking out six and walking a batter in 5 1/3 innings of a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday in his major league debut.
"After I threw the first pitches, I was like, OK, this is the same game and it calmed me down right there," the right-hander said. "I just tried to attack the hitters. It was fun."
The pair came within one game of facing each other in the Texas State High School playoffs, but Anderson's team came up one game short.
"I threw the regional finals my senior year, we lost the game 2-1 or 3-2," Anderson said. "I had 15 strikeouts. I would have pitched against Kershaw's team in the first round of the playoffs in 2006, our senior year of high school, so that would have been a lot of fun."
The two also came close to crossing paths on two other occasions.
"He was on the same summer ball team that following summer, but he got drafted so he went with the Dodgers and I went to play summer ball," Anderson said. "He worked out at API [Athletes' Performance Institute] a couple of offseasons ago where I worked out, but we never really ran into each other. We're both Texas boys."
