Money line (ML)
The Dodgers won Monday's opener 9-4. The Cards answered with a 3-2 victory in Game 2.
The Redbirds got off to a not-wholly-supported fast start to the season and have been a fairly solid fade candidate since mid-May. This entire series mostly fits as a fade of St. Louis pitching.
PASS on the money line, and take a crack on the Dodgers winning by 2 or more runs.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
BACK THE DODGERS -1.5 (-120). Buehler and the L.A. bullpen are the key factors here. So is the Dodgers lineup which is at its best against right-handed pitching with a league-high .774 OPS.
Over/Under (O/U)
TAKE THE OVER 8 (-110). A batter's breeze works against Buehler and a fly-ball prone Cardinals relief corps. The market looks to be trending upward here; try to get in on the level -110 pricing.
