This series is certainly taking on the look of an NL Championship series. These teams have split the first two games, and each would like to walk away from this one a series winner. Hyun-Jin Ryu has had a great season at 10-3 with a 3.15 ERA, but he has not been crisp on the road. Ryu's last three road starts have seen him fail to work more than 5.1 innings, and he has allowed 27 hits and 11 runs in just 15.2 innings of work. He is going to have to sharpen those numbers considerably against a St. Louis team that is now 40-17 when following a loss in their last 57, and 65-32 in their last 97 played at home. The Dodgers are just 16-35 here in their last 51 played. Go with St. Louis in this one.
