The Dodgers come into this game as HUGE betting favorites at home and that is no shock since Clayton Kershaw, who is a lock for the Cy Young and may win the NL MVP, is on the hill. However, when he faced the Cardinals in the post-season last year he was hit hard and the Dodgers lost and were eliminated from the playoffs.
Even with Kershaw on the hill the Cardinals throw out their Ace in Adam Wainwright, who won 20 games this season.
Kershaw (21-3 1.77 ERA) was solid in his last outing of the regular season going 8 innings and only giving up 1 earned run in a win over the San Francisco Giants.
This is the 4th year in a row that Kershaw led the NL in ERA.
Kershaw was 10-2 at home this season with an ERA of 1.70.
The Dodgers are 41-18 in Kershaw’s last 59 home starts.
Wainwright (20-9 2.38 ERA) had 8 strike outs in 7 innings and did not give up any earned runs in his last outing, which was a win over the Chicago Cubs.
Wainwright finished 3rd in the NL in ERA and his road ERA was 1.72. However, he has not had much luck against the Dodgers in La La Land where he is 1-3 in 6 starts with an ERA of 4.30.
The Cardinals are 9-4 in Wainwright’s last 13 road starts.
