Betting Trends for vs
The Saint Louis Cardinals have dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers as of recent as they have won 5 consecutive meetings. The Saint Louis Cardinals have been very good on the road as of recent as they have won 5 of their last 6 games, and they are looking to continue that success as they are only .5 games out of 1st place in the NL Central. The Los Angeles Dodgers are throwing a rookie in Gonsolin, and I am hesitant in backing a guy who is starting only his 2nd career game. The Saint Louis Cardinals have enough talent to rattle the rookie as Marcell Ozuna, Paul Goldschmidt, and Paul DeJong is a solid group of hitters. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Cardinals win 5-4.
