The Los Angeles Dodgers seeks to improve its record when they play host to the surging St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday evening in the current Major League Baseball season.The host team Los Angeles Dodgers (6-8) is the underdog in this game due to the better record of the St. Louis Cardinals in their scheduled MLB game.
Coming off a win in its last game against the San Francisco Giants, the Los Angeles Dodgers hopes to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in their game.To bring down the St. Louis Cardinals, the Los Angeles Dodgers needs to play a good game against the tough visiting MLB team.
To defeat the Cardinals, the Dodgers need to get solid performance from starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw and the rest of the team.Kershaw (2-1, 1.37 ERA) has been the most consistent Dodgers starter.In their recent win over the Giants, Kershaw pitched 6 2-3 scoreless innings striking out seven to bring his season total to 24.The left-hander is 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in six career outings against the Cardinals.
If Kershaw and his teammates will have a collective good game it would be an early night for the Cardinals.The visiting Cardinals can defeat the Dodgers if they can play with 110 percent efforts and their A-game come game-time.Cardinals star Albert Pujols also need to play huge for his team to defeat the Dodgers.
To win this game, the Cardinals need to play smart and with determination on game-day against the Dodgers.
