The St. Louis Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in NL Wild Card Game action. The Cardinals will send Adam Wainwright to face the Dodgers in a one-game winner take all showdown. The Cardinals looked to be out of it but finished the season winning 17 of their last 20 so secure the last Wild Card spot. This season, he posted a 17-7 record with a 3.05 ERA. He went seven or more innings 16 times this season and has given up two or fewer earned runs 20 times.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won 106 games this season and all that got them was a one-game Wild Card game as they could not overcome the San Francisco Giants. Max Scherzer will take the mound for the Dodgers in this win-or-go-home game. This season he posted a 2.46 ERA with a 236/36 K/BB ratio over 30 starts this season.


The Cardinals have won gone 17-3 in their last 20 games and have won 11 consecutive road games. The Dodgers have a killer lineup and the probable Cy Young winner on the mound. Wainright is no slouch on the mound either. The Cardinals have shown this year and in years past that they find ways to win. This is one of those games.

The total number has gone under in five of St. Louis’ last seven games, and four of their last five games facing National League opponents. The Dodgers have an explosive lineup but things seem to get tight in these one-game-winner take-all games. P look for both pitchers to go deep in this game.

Play on the UNDER.
