The St. Louis Cardinals go head to head with the LA Dodgers in southern California tonight in a contest that Im betting favors the road underdog. The Cardinals starting pitcher, a viable Cy Young award candidate Adam Wainwright (14-7, 2.62 ERA), is one of MLB's most consistent starters, and when under rated by the lines makers is a very viable hurler to back as is evident by his teams 9-0 record as a road underdog. Wainwright is 6-0 with a 2.79 ERA in his last six on the outings and has seen his team win all 7 of his road starts at night this season. The right-hander's ERA and 149 strikeouts rank fifth in the NL in their respective categories. That is not a good omen for dodgers starting thrower Jayson Kershaw who has seen his team lose his last 5 starts thanks to a lack of run support. It must also be noted that the thrower was frustrated once again in his last meeting with the Cardinals on July 29, yielding four hits with seven strikeouts in eight innings of a 3-2, 15-inning loss.

Final notes & Key Trends: Cardinals are 9-4 L/13 meetings here in LA and are 35-16 in the L/51 overall confrontations. Wainwrights team when he starts against a winning team in the 2nd half of the season, dating back to last year is a
perfect 8-0.

Angels at Indians
ANGELS - It was close, but the Angels got over on the Indians last night for their third straight win over the Tribe this season. Tonight, the Halos will make it four in a row.
Going back to last season the Angels have gone 6-3 their last 9 games against Cleveland.
Consider, too, Anaheim comes into this game on a roll, having won 7 of its last 8 games and is 14-5 its last 19 games overall.
The Indians, on the other hand, come into this game 9-17 their last 26 games at home.
Also consider that Cleveland scheduled starter Jeremy Sowers has been unlucky for the Indians. The team is just 3-6 his last 9 starts overall and is 3-6 at home with Sowers on the mound. The Indians have also lost each of his last three home starts.
On the other side, the Angels are 7-1 their last 8 games with tonight’s scheduled starter Jered Weaver on the mound.
Tonight, the Angels will get over once again with Weaver on the mound as they get their fourth straight win over Cleveland.
Cardinals at Dodgers
CARDINALS - After getting off to a blazing start this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been inconsistent and have struggled since the middle of July.
The Dodgers are just 9-14 their last 25 games and are just 3-7 their last 10 games at home, having lost 4 of their last 5 in Los Angeles. Tonight, the Dodgers will lose another game at home to the visiting Cardinals.
These two have split the first two games of this series, but for the year, St. Louis is still 4-2 against the Dodgers and is 10-4 its last 14 games against Los Angeles, going back the last few seasons.
Consider, too, the Dodgers come into this game having lost each of its last 5 games in which Clayton Kershaw has started, while the Cardinals have gone 7-2 their last 9 games in which scheduled starter Adam Wainwright has taken the mound.
St. Louis comes into this game having gone 9-2 its last 11 games and is 4-1 its last 5 games on the road. Tonight, the Cards will chalk up another win against the spiraling Dodgers.
