Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for the Dodgers. He's 9-3 with a 2.39 ERA in 19 starts this season. The future Hall of Famer been spectacular and will be tasked with a formidable Cardinals lineup that has scored the fourth most runs per game in the MLB.
Recently, the left-hander has been better in shutting down lineups, giving up just one earned run in his last 13 innings. The Dodgers man has been great, but the Cardinals are 24-10 versus left-handed starters this year. It remains to be seen if the visitors build off their 11-run performance last night or if Kershaw continues to mow down hitters.
St. Louis will send out Jordan Montgomery in this clash. He has an 8-5 record with a 3.26 ERA in 30 starts. The left-hander has been very dependable for his new team, and he will be tasked to contain a good Dodgers lineup.
Last time, Montgomery labored a bit, throwing 5 1/3 innings and giving up seven hits and three earned runs while punching out nine in the Cincinnati Reds loss. The St. Louis man has been good away from home but has struggled against top-tier lineups. Expect the Dodgers to fare a lot better at the plate compared to how they did on Friday night.
