Kenta Maeda did a solid job against the Cardinals in his return from the DL in his last start, while Michael Wacha was lit up by the Dodgers in his previous start. It was a rare bump in the road for Wacha during a quality season, and I expect him to be better this time around. There's enough key batters missing from the lineups on each side (Seager, Turner, Pederson, Gyorko) that the starters should dominate the proceedings.
Dodgers pitcher Kenta Maeda will attempt to win consecutive starts against the Cardinals. To do so he'll need to improve on his last start, a performance in which he allowed seven hits and three earned runs. After sweeping the Cubs, this may seem like a spot to expect a letdown on the road against a Cardinals team seeking revenge on Maeda. Instead, grab the value here on the Dodgers.
