Despite losing 2-1 in 13 innings last night, the Cardinals have been a great bet on the road lately. They’re 9-1 in their last 10 road games and are 6-2 in their last eight games when their opponent allows two runs or less in their previous game. They’re also 37-17 in their last 54 games versus a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30.
The Dodgers, meanwhile, are winless at 0-4 in Hill’s last four starts coming off seven or more days of rest. St. Louis is struggling to score runs but this is a good spot to take the Cardinals with Leake on the mound.
