This is a 10* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Dodgers/Cardinals.

The Cardinals have now seen the total go UNDER the number in nine straight games, but with the mighty Dodgers coming to town, we're FINALLY expecting some offensive fireworks in St. Louis tonight.

LA comes to town with a night off and having won nine of its last ten. It had seen the total go UNDER the number in seven straight before it's 11-9 home win over the Cubs most recently and we're expecting the Dodgers to carry that momentum over here.

The Dodgers lead the NL in both RPG (5.0) and ERA (2.96.) They hand the ball to Mitch White (1-1, 3.38 ERA), who has done well of late, but who is 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in two career appearances vs. the Cardinals.

St. Louis turns to rookie Matthew Liberatore (2-1, 4.74), who has benefited from uncharacteristically strong run support in his role as a starter.

We're expecting these starters to get chased early and for these talented offenses to be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries of this contest.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
