St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: We are rooting for Dodgers

On Friday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Busch Stadium, featuring a matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The St. Louis Cardinals have scored at least four runs in six of their previous eight games, including a total of 23 runs in their most recent three games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Cardinals have won six of their last seven contests. Willson Contreras and Nolan Arenado have combined for 83 hits and 50 RBI for the Rockies and Cardinals, respectively. Paul Goldschmidt leads the Cardinals with 52 hits and 23 RBI. The Cardinals have a record of 2-6 in their last eight games played at home and 4-1 in their last five games played overall.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 17 runs over the course of their previous three games, and they have scored 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Dodgers have won the previous 18 games in a row. Freddie Freeman has a team-high 54 hits and leads the Dodgers with 23 RBI, while Mookie Betts and James Outman have combined for 78 hits and 52 RBI for the Red Sox. The Dodgers have a record of 42-14 in their previous 56 games played on Thursday and a record of 94-42 in their last 136 games overall.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are now in the midst of one of those hot streaks; therefore, going up against them at this time is definitely not the best choice. Julio Urias is also having a respectable season, while Adam Wainwright is still stumbling through the season because he's only tossed 10 innings so far. As a result, we will be backing the Dodgers in this matchup.
