It took a while for the Dodgers to get going this season but they come out of the break having caught and passed San Francisco for the lead in the NL West.
It only took Los Angeles 2 pitches to knock Cardinals starter Shelby Miller out of the game last night – courtesy of a Carl Crawford liner to the elbow. After he was ready to go they absolutely drilled Jake Westbrook who was supposed to start today’s game and in hindsight was obviously not ready to go.
The L.A. Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals open an important NL 4-game series tonight. The Dodgers have the best record since the All Star break and are in first place in the NL West 5.5 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The MLB divisional races continue to heat up as the contending teams in the league jockey for position heading into the final two months of the regular season.
After really struggling before and just after the All Star break the Dodgers are back on track and they are riding a 5-game winning streak. There is a good chance they will win their 6th straight with reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
Despite this disadvantage the Dodgers are at they did lead the National League in starting pitchers ERA. They will certainly have the advantage moving forward in a 7 game series, but this is the worst match up I think the Dodgers could have gotten. Wainwright and Carpenter both have post season experience and were a combined 36-12 this year and could pitch 4 of the 5 games in this series.
