The Dodgers (17-17) are now in tie for first in the National League West after losing, 4-3, to the New York Mets on Wednesday. The Cardinals (18-16) are in third place in the National League Central and just beat the Los Angeles, 5-2, on Wednesday. Be sure to check out for more betting odds by clicking here.

A Look at the Online MLB Lines Analysis on St. Louis at LA Dodgers

When: Friday, May 13, 2016, 10:10 PM Eastern time Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles TV: SNLA, FSMW Radio: St. Louis / Los Angeles Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Michael Wacha (2-3, 3.12 ERA) (STL) vs Ross Stripling (0-2, 3.82 ERA) (LA)

Why Should You Bet on St. Louis?

The Cardinals will be glad to see Ross Stripling pitching for the Dodgers. The rookie did pitch well against Toronto last time out (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 K), but overall he has struggled to finish his starts. Randal Grichuk, Yadier Molina and Stephen Piscotty have all been hitting well for the Cards, who started the season with a major offensive slump. Given that the Dodgers have been getting uneven performances from their offense, this is an opportunity for the Cardinals to grab a W.

Why Should You Put Your Money on the Dodgers?

The Dodgers are seeing Michael Wacha on the mound at a good time, at least from their perspective. He has allowed four combined home runs in his last three starts, as well as eight total earned runs — and zero wins in that stretch. Los Angeles has been getting clutch hitting from such usual suspects as Yasiel Puig but also from new contributors like Trayce Thompson, who hit a solo shot to win Tuesday’s game over the Mets in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I like the Dodgers to get to Wacha, but I think that the Cardinals will do even more damage to Stripling, as well as they have been hitting lately. I’m predicting a 7-5 St. Louis win.
