Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I just don’t think that Erick Fedde is a viable option at home for the Cardinals, even though St. Louis has been playing some solid baseball at home this season. The Dodgers still have an extremely potent lineup, and when this team goes down, they don’t normally stay down. In fairness, I think the Dodgers bounce back and get some revenge here. Give me the Dodgers.
