Los Angeles at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cards have ridden the arm of Joel Piniero to wins in each of his last four starts.  He has had terrific command and the results speak for themselves. Piniero has pitched to a 1.24 ERA in the four starts and over his last 52 innings has issued just two free passes. The Cards have really been on top of their game against the top teams as they have turned in an amazing 17-4 mark in their last 21 played vs teams with a winning percentgae of .600+. Clayton Kershaw has been good for the Dodgers, but unlike Piniero he has had a lot of command issues as he has walked 63 in his 112 innings of work and, as a result, is always pitching out of jams. The Dodgers have had a difficult time in St. Louis where they have been a miserable 8-26 here in their last 34 games. I'm going with the Cards on the runline in this one.
