The Dodgers (38-26) have split their first 30 road games and are clinging to a one-game lead over San Diego for NL West Division supremacy. Last night, Los Angeles batters went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base during a 5-0 road loss against St. Louis. 

Twenty-six year old righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-4 2.39 ERA) is quietly pitching well for the Dodgers. Through 67 plus innings, Yamamoto has allowed just six home runs and struck out 77 batters while posting a sparkling 1.00 WHIP.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 20 of their first 30 home games and are 4.5 games back of NL Central Division leading Chicago.

SP Sonny Gray (7-1) scattered eight hits across six plus frames to earn the win for the Cardinals, who improved to 35-28 on the year. 

Thirty-two year old righty Erick Fedde (3-5 3.82 ERA) will get the nod for the Cardinals on Saturday. St. Louis has lost Fedde’s previous four starts and he has given up 11 runs (9 ER) over his last 21 plus innings. 

Los Angeles SP Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session this weekend and could return later this month. Through 64 games, Los Angeles ranks 1st in OPS and 1st in runs scored. For the season, St. Louis ranks 10th in OPS and 7th in runs scored. Take the over. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Dodgers win 6-5.
