St. Louis vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: Game 3 to End Up in a Draw

The score in the series between the top National League rivals St. Louis and Los Angeles Dodgers at Busch Stadium is 1:1. Who will win the third meeting? Let's pick a few options to bet on.

In game two of the series with the Dodgers, Oliver Marmol's team led 6-0 in the seventh inning, but managed not simply lose that advantage, but by a score of 6-7. The Cardinals' reliever failed completely. The pitching loss went to Giovanny Gallegos, but others paved the way for him. Drew VerHagen, Genesis Cabrera and Junior Fernandez conceded five runs on aggregate.

Dakota Ryan Hudson, 6-5 and a 4.00 ERA in 17 meetings in this championship series with the Dodgers, is the starting pitcher for St. Louis.

Winning a game 0-6, even on the road against one of the National League's strongest teams, is not just the evidence of a strong squad, but of a squad that aspires to be the best in the MLB at all. Once again, the Dodgers have proven that they are that team. Two RBI for Justin Turner, a two-run home run by catcher Will Smith, and one RBI each for Betts, Alberto and Muncy. Craig Kimbrel had the pitching win, Evan Phillips got the save.

Tyler Anderson, 9-1 and with a 3.15 ERA in 16 starts this season, will pitch for the Dodgers in Game 3 of the series in St. Louis.

The first two games were productive so it won't be the other way around in the third game. The opponents come to the match more concentrated and show themselves in defense. The choice of starting pitchers is also an incentive to bet on the underdog. Both Anderson and Hudson have been fairly consistent this season.

In addition, it's worth considering betting on the Dodgers' win. Dave Roberts' team confirmed in the last game that they are the strongest in the National League right now. In the third game of the series in St. Louis they will probably take the lead.

The prediction is that the Dodgers will win in a total under game.
