In their last games the Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 1-0 and the Cardinals crushed the Cincinnati Reds 15-2.

This season the Cardinals are 32-17 at home and the Dodgers are 30-24 on the road.

The Dodgers have lost 7 of their last 10 games against the Cardinals.

In the end of July the Cardinals’ offense was struggling, but in winning 3 of their last 4 games they have scored 44 runs. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Zach Greinke (8-3 3.43 ERA) goes for the Dodgers tonight and in his last start he was solid only giving up 2 earned runs in 7 innings, but still took a no decision facing the New York Yankees.

For the Cardinals Adam Wainwright (13-6 2.61 ERA) gets the nod and in his last outing he gave up 4 earned runs in 7 innings in a no decision facing the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Greinke has not faced the Cardinals since the 2012 season and is 6-1 with a 1.88 ERA in his last 7 starts facing them.

Wainwright is 2-0 with a 1.86 ERA in his last 3 starts against the Dodgers.

Dodgers’ rookie sensation Yasiel Puig (.376 11 HR) is questionable for tonight’s game with a thumb injury.

In some betting trends for this National League match up the Dodgers are 21-6 in their last 27 road games, 7-1 in Greinke’s last 8 starts, and they have an Under record of 18-7-1 in their last 26 games overall.

The Cardinals are 4-13 in their last 17 vs. a team with a winning record, 13-6 in Wainwright’s last 19 home starts, and they have an Over record of 5-0 in their last 5 games.

Jason’s Pick: Even though Puig may miss tonight’s game, which I think he will not, the Dodgers’ will continue their strong play and they will win Game 1 of this series.
