The St. Louis Cardinals seeks to improve their record when they visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday evening in the current Major League Baseball season.The visiting St. Louis Cardinals (5-7) is considered the underdog against the Los Angeles Dodgers (6-6) due to the better record of the latter.
To beat the home-team Los Angeles Dodgers the St Louis Cardinals need to play hard and with purpose in their scheduled MLB game.Having won three of their recent four games with a .356 batting average with 15 doubles, nine homers and 37 runs, the St. Louis Cardinals are very confident of their chances against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
To bring down the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals left handed pitcher Jaime Garcia needs to plat big for his team against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Cardinals star Albert Pujols also need to play superb for his team to defeat the Dodgers in their game.The three-time NL MVP broke out of an early slump by going 5 for 8 with two RBIs over the last two games.
He was 6 for 40 with one homer and four RBIs through the first 10 contests.The odds of winning might not be on their side but the Cardinals can still pull a surprise and defeat the Dodgers if they can play with their A-game come game-time.The home-team Dodgers for its part will have their hands full against the visiting Cardinals.
To beat the Cardinals, Dodger pitcher Hiroki Kuroda need to play huge for his team.Dodgers star Andre Ethier also need to play huge for his team to bring down the Cardinals in their game.Enthier is providing some offensive punch for the Dodgers, hitting .421 with one homer and seven RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak.
It’s the right fielder’s longest since putting together a career-high 16-game run as a rookie from July 26-Aug. 12, 2006.
The odds of winning is on the side of the Dodgers all they need to do is to come up with a good game-plan and execute it well come game-time.
