The ragged back end of the Dodgers' rotation remains a dilemma for Dave Roberts, tonight turning to little-used Justin Wrobleski, whose only start of the season on April 8 at Washington turned into a disaster (we'll say...8 runs and 8 hits in just 5 IP; Roberts would be thrilled with 4 or so serviceable innings before letting the bullpen take over.) LA is also just 13-14 as a visitor this season (the opening two wins over the Cubs were neutral-site games in Japan). Meanwhile, the Cards have won five straight starts made by Sonny Gray, who has had a bit of a curious pattern the past month, alternating getting shelled and not allowing a run! Play Cards on the Money Line.
The Dodgers have won five of the last seven meetings with the Cardinals, but the Cardinals are 20-10 at home this year and have their best starter on the mound in Sonny Gray. However, Gray had some trouble with the Dodgers over his career, at 1-4 with a 3.35 ERA in seven career starts. The Dodgers score 10.1 runs per game and have gone over 37 times this season with a lineup leading MLB with a .266 average. The Dodgers start Justin Wrobleski, who makes his first start of the season. The weather is expected to be 74°, wind blowing in at 3 mph, and a 54% chance of precipitation. Over is the play.
