N.L. Showdown from Dodger Stadium, LA -225, STL+204. 16% of consensus money on the Cardinals who have been the best team in baseball for September. 3-4 this year vs the Dodgers.

These two have quite a history in the playoffs, in case your wondering we won’t be seeing Kershaw come in relief, which may have been a good idea but starters don’t get warmed up the same coming from the bullpen, however he is on the 10 day IL.
