Analysis: The Cardinals lost last night's game and are now 44-38 on the year, which puts them at 6.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central. The Cardinals have struggled to score runs this year, ranking 25th in runs scored (3.74 rpg), while also ranking 17th in hitting (.250) and 29th in homers (48). Numbers we are not used to seeing from this team on offense, but the pitching is what they have held their hats on this year, ranking 5th in ERA (3.26) and 3rd in WHIP (1.18). Taking the hill for the Cards today will be Shelby Miller, who is 7-6 with a 3.75 ERA overall, while on the road he is 4-2 with a 3.50 ERA. Miller is 1-0 with a 4.26 ERA in 3 appearances (2 starts) vs the Dodgers.
The Dodgers won yesterday's game in easy fashion, taking the contest by a 9-1 count and they have now won 11 of their last 15 games and remain just 2 games out in the NL West. The Dodgers have been a decent offensive team this year, as they come in ranked 10th in scoring (4.22 rpg), 9th in hitting (.258), 18th in homers (69) and 1st in stolen bases (81). The Pitching has been very good for this team, as they come in ranked 3rd in ERA (3.25), 8th in WHIP (1.23) and 3rd in quality starts (53). Getting the ball for the Dodgers today will be Clayton Kershaw, who is 8-2 with a 2.24 ERA on the year overall, while at home he is 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA. Clayton is just 4-5 with a 3.75 ERA in 12 career starts vs the Cards.
Pick: Gonna take a shot with the Dodgers on the RL (+100) here. The Cards do struggle vs lefties and Kershaw is one of the best in the game today. He proved how good he is in his last 2 starts, by throwing a no-hitter vs Colorado, and then following that up in what is a flat spot for most, by throwing 8 shutout innings at Kansas City. Clayton has 8 wins on the year and just one of those were by less than 2 runs. Last night LA won by 8 and should take this one by at least 3 runs.
