St. Louis CardinalsvsLos Angeles Angels
STL 1/LAA 0
The preview
Cardinals roll into Angel Stadium at 51-49 and still clinging to wild card relevance, while the Angels are buried at 41-61 and playing out the string on a getaway day matinee. Vegas actually likes the home dog-turned-favorite here, with LA sitting at -120 and the total set at 9, so nobody expects a pitchers' duel.
Watch the Cardinals' bullpen late — if the starter doesn't go seven and the manager goes to the pen too early, this lineup has the pop to make him pay. Bold prediction: the Angels' heart of the order gets to a shaky Cardinals arm early and this one ends in a walk-off for LA.
