The St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet tonight at Chavez Ravine in the NL Wild Card game. Year in and year out, the St. Louis Cardinals put a quality product on the field and this year is no different. St. Louis got hot down the stretch to earn their right to face the Dodgers in tonight’s matchup. The Cardinals will turn to the 40-year old veteran, Adam Wainwright, tonight to throw strikes and he has been as sharp as ever. Wainwright is 17-7 with a 3.05 ERA and over his last 8 starts, he is 6-0 with a 2.44 ERA. The obvious choice for the Dodgers to oppose Wainwright is Max Scherzer. Scherzer has been lethal. He is 15-4 with a 2.46 ERA and it gets better. Since joining the Dodgers at the trade deadline from Washington, he is a perfect 7-0 with a nasty ERA of just 1.98. Will the Cardinals make it a game? You better believe it, but with all the Dodgers weapons and Scherzer on the hill, they had better be clicking on every cylinder. Moreover, St. Louis is just 3-7 in the last 10 meetings with LA and 1-5 in their last 6 trips to Dodger Stadium.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
