Game Preview

 
For the start of a four-game series, the Dodgers will bring the league’s hottest offense to St. Louis tonight. Up until tonight, Los Angeles had won 15 of their previous 18 games, winning six straight series in the process. That includes sweeping the Cardinals in three games at the end of May.
 
Los Angeles completely dominated the Cardinals, outsourcing them 14-6. After winning the season series versus St. Louis 4-2, they have recently had success against them. The Cardinals had won eight of their previous 10 games, so this club is very different from the one they faced before this series. In order to cover as road favorites tonight, the Dodgers must maintain their outstanding at-bat performance and get their ace back into a rhythm.
 
Tonight is the Dodgers’ 10th start of the season for southpaw Julio Urias. With a 3.61 ERA and 1.07 WHIP this season, the 26-year-old has performed admirably. Even if his high ERA is unusual compared to prior seasons, two bad starts at the end of April are mostly to blame.

The Cardinals might be returning, so don’t look right now. St. Louis is climbing the standings despite still being in last place in one of baseball’s worst divisions. Up until tonight, they had won three straight series, but they currently have an eight-game losing streak. Therefore, if the Cardinals want to get back into the playoff picture, they still have a lot of work to do.
 
St. Louis’ seasoned ace Adam Wainwright will start tonight’s game. Waino had been injured throughout the first month of the season but has since made a comeback. The 41-year-old’s preliminary results have not been promising. In each of his two starts, he went five innings while giving up at least seven hits and four runs. Despite this, Wainwright pitched 191.2 innings last season with a 3.71 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.
