Dodgers Have Historically Struggled at Busch Stadium

The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals will play each other for the fourth time in a week when they kick off a four-game set Monday. With the games switching over to the Gateway to the West, the Dodgers may be concerned with the squad going just 4-10 in its past 14 games in St. Louis.

Though the team keeps saying the lingering finger blister issue has not been hampering Hill, the 12-year veteran has not thrown more than 82 pitches in an outing this season.

Mike Leake has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, as he has opened the year with nine consecutive quality starts and a 1.91 ERA.
