Cardinals vs Dodgers Preview, Parlay Picks
Dodgers Moneyline (-210)
Los Angeles bounced back with a blowout 12-6 win yesterday.
The Dodgers should carry their momentum from that big win into Wednesday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Shohei Ohtani will toe the rubber for the Dodgers.
Ohtani has been outstanding this season with an ERA of 2.40 across 15 innings.
Southpaw Matthew Liberatore has struggled on the road this season with an ERA of 4.39 and should struggle against this Dodgers lineup.
Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110)
The veteran has uncharacteristically struggled this season.
Mookie Betts is hitting a career-worst .236 and pacing for his fewest home runs since his rookie season.
Despite the tough season, I love this matchup for Betts after collecting three hits last night.
Betts has hit better against southpaws this year (.248).
