The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals open a three-game series tonight at Busch Stadium.
The Dodgers are hot, having won seven games in a row. LA swept the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs. With this stretch, the Dodgers now hold a 7 1/2 game lead in the National League West.
The Cardinals dropped two of three to the Philadelphia Phillies and find themselves slipping out of playoff positioning. However, they'll try to hold on as the All-Star break approaches.

Pitching in this one are Mitch White for the Dodgers and Matthew Liberatore for the Cardinals.
Since moving to the starter role in late may, White has been rock solid. White is averaging 1.4 runs a start and a WHIP of 1.58.
Since getting the call to The Show, Liberatore has been more of an opener than a starter. Three of his starts have been shutouts, and the other three have resulted in 4+ runs. Bettors never know what they're going to get with Liberatore.

If the Cardinals are going to take a game in this series, this is the one. Gonsolin is pitching tomorrow and Anderson the day after that. If Liberatore can have one of his shutout starts, St. Louis should have no problem picking up the W.
