Cardinals vs Dodgers Prediction

The teams have traded wins in the past couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters. Although I am leaning towards the Dodgers in this one, because of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, I am going with Over instead. Yamamoto did allow multiple runs in four of his last five starts, while Erick Fedde surrendered multiple runs in each of his previous three starts. With the firepower on both offenses, I believe they will be prolific early on. Seven of Los Angeles’s last ten games went Over, which was the same case in seven of St. Louis’s previous ten games.
