Los Angeles is 37-14 in their last 51 Saturday games and 65-23 in their last 88 game two’s of a series. The over is 7-0 in Los Angeles’ last 7 games. St. Louis is 2-9 in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings in LA.
Pick
The Dodgers were able to take Game 1 in this series, while the Cardinals continue their rough start to the year. Los Angeles has scored at least seven runs in four of their last six games, but will be going up against Jordan Montgomery in this matchup. Montgomery allowed seven runs to Arizona two starts ago, but he has been very solid in his other appearances. Los Angeles will be starting Clayton Kershaw, who has allowed three earned runs over his last 19.0 innings pitched. I like the Dodgers to win Game 2 here.
