Cardinals Have Been The Best Road Team In Baseball

The St. Louis Cardinals’ season got off to an inauspicious start with the team going just 3-9 in the first 12 games. However, the Cards have rebounded and that is largely thanks to their stellar play away from Busch Stadium. Matt Carpenter and company are 9-0 SU and against the runline in their past nine road contests while averaging 6.6 rpg. The Cardinals kick off a three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone OVER in 14 of the Cardinals' last 19 games against RHP.
  • The Dodgers are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games against teams with winning records.
  • The total has gone UNDER in 5 of the Cardinals' last 7 games as underdogs against the Dodgers.

However, this streak will be tough to continue with the Cardinals facing Clayton Kershaw. The lefty has basically been untouchable, which shouldn’t be a surprise, as Kershaw has posted a 1.81 ERA while throwing 70 percent of his pitches for strikes in his past seven starts.

Lance Lynn will look to continue his quietly stellar season when he takes the bump in this one. Lynn has a 2.78 ERA on the year, which is the fifth-best of any starter in the NL, and a 1.13 WHIP. That being said, the righty has struggled with the long ball recently, allowing two home runs in each of his past two starts.
