Dakota Hudson, who is 3-2 with a 2.77 ERA, will be on the bump Thursday for St. Louis. Hudson will be tasked with a tough Dodgers lineup that ranks second in the majors in runs per game. Hudson is coming off of a six-inning scoreless outing where he fanned four and picked up the no-decision against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Hudson has been a reliable rotation piece for St. Louis this year. Look for him to try and build off of his last start.

For Thursday's contest, Los Angeles will have the lefty Tyler Anderson starting. Anderson is currently holding a 9-1 record and 3.15 ERA. He has been excellent in his first year in L.A. after several mediocre seasons in Pittsburgh.
The Cardinals have a decent lineup, and they tend to hit southpaws a lot better than righties. Anderson has benefited from excellent run support, but he can be hit around a bit at times.
