St. Louis at Los Angeles

Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles is huge, a great pitcher's park. St. Louis got a dose of that yesterday in a 6-0 loss to LA. At least the Cardinals are armed for this one with Kyle Lohse (5-1, 2.70 ERA), who has had a fine season. It's imperative in a big park like this that you don't walk anyone and Lohse is one of the best, walking just eight batters in 50 innings this season. The UNDER is 4-1 in Lohse's last five road starts. The LA offense has to make do without its best offensive player, Matt Kemp (.359, 12 HRs); Kemp won't be back until May 30 at the earliest. The UNDER is 10-3 in the Cardinals last 13 road games against a right-handed starter and face LA righty Chad Billingsley, who has a 3.83 ERA fanning 37 in 44 innings. The UNDER is 9-4-1 in the Dodgers last 14 against the National League Central and this shapes up as a pitcher's duel with more defense than offense. Play the Cardinals/L.A. Dodgers UNDER the total.
