The St. Louis Cardinals (70-70, 36-32 Away) will go for the series sweep today when they face off with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dodger Stadium. First Pitch for this AL vs. NL battle is scheduled for 10.10 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by MLB.TV.
With the regular season winding down, the Cardinals need to string together some wins if they are going to have a chance of making the playoffs. After beating the Dodgers in the last two games, they are 3.5 games back for the final wild card spot with 22 games to play.
The Dodgers will send Tarik Skubal to the mound to start the day, hoping he can quiet what has been a busy St. Louis offense. Since being acquired by the Dodgers, he has gone 1-2 in five starts with a 3.0 ERA, giving up at least one run in every start.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
With Skubal on the mound, I’d expect him to quiet the Cardinals' bats down some and help LA get back on the right side of the scoreboard. However, with how the Dodgers lineup has been hitting, it is hard to trust they’ll win by enough to cover the spread. I’d expect them to, but at +119 and considering how both teams have played the last two days, the Cardinals run line is a solid value play.
