St. Louis at Los Angeles

The Dodgers opened the season with a whirlwind of wins, and appeared on their way back to glory. That train derailed a long time ago, and this team has been less than mediocre despite the fortification at the trade deadline. The Dodgers are 7-14 in their last 21 games. The offense, which has been problematic all season, has reared its ugly head down the stretch. The Dodgers have scored just 28 runs in their last 13 games, hitting 4 just one time. They are even worse lately, with just 3 runs total in their last four games. The Cardinals have been strong against a team that has trouble scoring, where they are 35-16 in their last 51 against a team that scored 2 or less in their previous game. The Cards have won the last four in this series, and number five is there to be had tonight. St. Louis gets the call.
