"The Dodgers came into the series on a high after blowing a series opener against the Cubs and scored 18 runs in two games to take that series."
"St. Louis was expected to be one of the worse teams in baseball, but have started 18-13 which is only good for third in the NL Central."
"They have seemingly found their new closer in Riley O'Brien, who hasn't allowed an earned run in 14 of his 15 outings."
"Emmet Sheehan held the Cubs to four baserunners over six shutout innings and matched a career-high with 10 strikeouts."
The Dodgers, after a day off, are looking to rebound from a disappointing series against the Marlins. They lost two of three games despite a strong start. The Cardinals, unexpectedly performing well, have a record of 18-13, despite a negative run differential. Both teams recently struggled against the Marlins. The Cardinals have a promising offense led by Jordan Walker, but their pitching staff has the fifth-highest ERA in baseball. Emmet Sheehan will start for the Dodgers, coming off a strong performance against the Cubs.
