MLB Odds: Dodgers vs. Cardinals prediction, odds, pick

Mitch White has a 3.38 ERA this season. Mitch White generally pitches five innings and gives up one to two runs. Matthew Liberatore has made six appearances this year, pitching 24 2/3 innings. Matthew has never pitched more than five full innings in any of his starts. Half of Matthew's appearances have been superb scoreless, but half have had rough rides. The Cardinals want to be more consistent than Mitch white. They want more one- or two-run outings and fewer four- runs outings.

The Dodgers have won nine of their last 10 games. They are getting reliable pitching and timely hitting. Matthew Liberatore is not the pitcher who is going to stop the Dodgers.

Dodgers play a team that has its groove back after a bad start. The Cardinals were shut out on Friday and Saturday by the Phillies, but they responded with wins on Sunday and Monday.

Dodgers are going to lose to Cardinals. The pitching matchup works in their favor.
