[dfads params=’groups=63744&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

In their last games the Cardinals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 and the Dodgers lost to the Atlanta Braves 3-2.

The Dodgers sit in first place in the NL West, but they are are only 5-5 in their last 10 games and only ? game up on the streaking San Francisco Giants. They have the best home record in baseball, but they are 4-games under .500 on the road and the road underdog tonight.

The Cardinals have the best record in the Majors and they are in first place in the NL Central 5.5 games up on the Chicago Cubs. They have eliminated the Dodgers in the playoffs in the last 2 seasons and tonight starter John Lackey pitched great in Game 3 of the NLDS last season only giving up 1 earned runs in the Cardinals win over L.A.

Both teams are very balanced and led by their pitching and the Cardinals rank 14th in runs scored and the Dodgers rank 10th.

Mike Bolsinger goes for the Dodgers tonight and he has been hot winning 3 straight starts and has not given up an earned run in his last 18 innings. However, can he win on the road? The only L.A. loss on the season when Bolsinger has gotten the start was in his first outing at San Francisco. In the last 2 seasons he is only 1-5 with a less than impressive ERA of 5.75 on the road.

St. Louis has lost their last 3 games when Lackey has gotten the starting call and in his last 3 starts he has only gotten 2 runs of support. All of those losses have come on the road. This season at home Lackey is 2-1 with an ERA of only 1.63 in 4 starts.

In his career has fared well against the Dodgers going 6-3 with a solid ERA of 1.89 in 11 career starts against them.

[dfads params=’groups=63745&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
