St. Louis at Los Angeles

The St. Louis Cardinals have gotten better pitching than any other team over the past 21 games. The Cardinals' staff has allowed 3 runs or less in 17 of their last 21 games, and those numbers are conducive to finding the win column rather frequently. They have also turned in five shutouts in the 21 games. The Dodgers have gotten great pitching of their own as they have allowed just 2.1 runs per game over their last 10. Carlos Martinez has had success as a starter, and last year out of the pen in the playoffs he limited LA to 1 hit in 4.1 innings of work. The Cards have been a top team off a loss where they are 35-16 in their last 51. Ryu has been strong on the hill for LA, but when he pitches on regular four days rest the Dodgers are just 3-7 in his last 10 starts. Go with the hot arms of the Cardinals.
