St. Louis, currently sitting at 61-62, is having an average season and is not in contention for the division title. Conversely, Los Angeles boasts a strong 72-52 record, solidifying their status as one of the league&#8217;s elite teams. In their last matchup on August 17, the Cardinals pulled off a 5-2 victory against the Dodgers, demonstrating their capability to compete against a top-tier opponent.<\/p>\n<p>On the mound, the Cardinals are set to start Sonny Gray, who is ranked 22nd among starting pitchers according to advanced-stat Power Rankings. Gray has had a decent year with an 11-7 record and a 3.93 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a>, though his 2.73 xFIP indicates he may have been a bit unlucky. Notably, he&#8217;s projected to allow an average of 2.3 earned runs today, which reflects his ability to minimize damage.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers will counter with Clayton Kershaw, who despite a lower ranking at 27th, has a strong 3.50 <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">ERA<\/a> in his limited four starts this season. Kershaw pitched well in his last game, showcasing his ability to dominate with a low earned run total.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cardinals are struggling, ranked 20th overall, while the Dodgers are thriving at 5th, thanks in large part to Shohei Ohtani&#8217;s outstanding performance. Ohtani leads the Dodgers with 38 home runs and a robust 0.990 OPS. <\/p>\n<p>As both teams look to capitalize on their strengths, the projections suggest this game will be closely contested, with each team expected to score around 4.00 runs. With the Cardinals aiming to carry momentum from their recent victory and the Dodgers striving to bounce back, fans can anticipate an engaging matchup at Busch Stadium.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Los Angeles Dodgers Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Los Angeles Dodgers &#8211;  Moneyline (-105)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Among every team on the slate today, the 2nd-best infield defense is that of the the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Gavin Lux &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-195\/+150)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Gavin Lux has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (78% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd on the lineup card in today&#8217;s game.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market.
