Pick
I’m backing the Dodgers here. I just don’t trust the Cardinals in this spot as far as I can throw them. Jordan Montgomery has a solid ERA, but he’s having trouble keeping the runs off of the board this season and I look for this game to be no different. The Dodgers may not have the dominant win-loss record, but they’re a solid team put together and I think they get another win over the Cardinals by getting to Goldschmidt here. Give me the over.
