The MLB schedule started off slow for the Cardinals and very hot for the Dodgers. The St. Louis Cardinals game today will be against the Dodgers at home. Both MLB teams are finding their ways at the beginning of the season, it just took the Cardinals a few extra weeks to figure things out. For our Dodgers vs Cardinals prediction we will be taking the Cardinals at home.
I just recently went to watch the red hot Cardinals and they do not look like they are letting off the gas anytime soon. I do agree that the Dodgers will be a tough competition in this series and will give the Cardinals a run for their money. The Cardinals are coming off a series win to the Brewers which has boosted the confidence in the clubhouse.
