Dodgers offense has kicked it into full gear now the last five games with a healthy Kemp and Ethier. Look for them to easily cover the 3.5 team total tonight. Dodgers have scored over 5 runs in five straight games now and the trend will continue against Wainwright. Even though Waino has shown some life his last three games, he's very unpredictable at home posting an unstable 5.01 ERA.
Four Dodgers key batters in the lineup tonight have owned Wainwright through the years, Ethier/Loney/Hairston/Ellis.....with a combined batting average of over .375 in over 50 at bats. Another hot and muggy day is expected in St Louis today which won't help Wainwright.
With their offense clicking on all cylinders, history of seeing a lot of Wainwright, and their two best hitters Kemp & Ethier returning back to full form, Dodgers will cover the 3.5 team total tonight.
BEST OF LUCK!
