T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers.

I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Dodgers have been very hot in their games lately. They have won 7 games in a row now, sweeping the Rockies in 4 games of their previous series, and they won 11/12 of their previous 12 games just to show how hot they've really been over the previous 2 weeks. I expect them to continue their huge run here over a struggling Cardinals team. The Cards have won 2 games in a row now but they haven't really looked great in their games, losing 6/7 of their previous 7 games before those 2 wins in a row. The Cardinals put up 10 runs total in their 2 most recent games but their offense was not great in their games before that and I can see it dying down again with this hot Dodgers team coming into town. Mitch White (1-1, 3.38 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has had a good year so far. He hasn't pitched deep in many games this year but he also hasn't had an outing where he gave up more than 3 runs and I don't see him having a bad outing here with this Cardinals offense looking shaky lately. Even if he does give up runs here, the Dodgers can post a lot of runs themselves and did so over the weekend, even erasing an early 8-3 deficit in 1 of their games winning it in the end. Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.74 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he hasn't been great in his few starts this year, I expect the Dodgers to put up runs on him here. He hasn't pitched past the 5th inning in any start this year and has given up 4+ runs in half of those starts. He gets himself into a lot of trouble with base runners in games and doesn't strikeout a lot of batters either so I expect to see him getting himself into trouble here with this hot lineup. I like the Dodgers to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-2 Dodgers.
