MLB Odds: Cardinals-Dodgers prediction, odds and pick

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 last night at Chavez Ravine. This is the last game of the season series between the two teams. Adam Wainwright takes the mound for the Cardinals. Michael Grove takes on the hill for Los Dodgers. The Dodgers are the current MLB favorites. The Cardinals are a slight favorite. They are 2-1 with a 5.57 ERA over four starts in September.

The Cardinals will cover the spread if they can get some offense gelling. Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Albert Pujols are the main offensive threats for the Cardinals. The pitching must deliver and keep the boys in blue off the basepaths. The Cardinals must get good pitching from Wainwright.

The Dodgers are the top seed in the National League. They have a very good offense that can easily curtail a game. Their manager, Bobblehead Grove, is still looking for his first victory. The Dodgers will cover the spread if their offense executes and Grove pitches well.   The Cardinals are a team that might face the Dodgers in a postseason.

The Cardinals are the better team and they are expected to come out on top against the Dodgers.
