Odds

Los Angeles is a -145 home favorite while St. Louis is a +125 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 8 runs.

Starting Pitching Matchup

Jordan Montgomery will start for the Cardinals and is 2-3 with a 3.81 ERA and 25 strikeouts this season. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers here and is 4-1 with a 2.32 ERA and 32 strikeouts this season.

Matchup History

Los Angeles’ 7-3 win over the Cardinals on Friday made it three straight wins for the Dodgers in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

St. Louis is 2-5 in their last 7 road games and 20-8 in their last 28 Saturday games while the under is 13-5-1 in their last 19 road games. Los Angeles is 92-36 in their last 128 home games and 46-19 in their last 65 games against the NL Central while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall.

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.
