Los Angeles at St. Louis

The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the season very strong, but this is a team with a suspect, and inconsistent offense. They have really struggled over their last 32 games where they are 11-21. The Cardinals’ staff has held them to 2 runs in each of the last two games, and look to take the series finale today. Hanley Ramierez was picked-up to bolster the lineup, but he has been known to be very disruptive to team chemistry. St. Louis is on a different path, winning five of their last six games. Jake Westbrook takes to the mound with confidence, scattering 3 hits in his last outing in 7 innings of scoreless work. The Dodgers are reeling in the role of an underdog at 7-15 in their last 22, and are just 2-8 in their last 10 on the road vs. a righthander. The Cards have struck the win column in seven of their last eight as a home favorite. Play on St. Louis.
