As usual, the Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be favored regardless of whom they’re playing or the pitching matchup, especially at home. However, we’re getting a good Cardinals team and the plus money with Adam Wainwright on the mound. Wainwright has been great all year with his 3.38 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, while Michael Grove has just 19.1 innings under his belt for his career. I’ll take my chances with the Cards and the plus money.
