The St. Louis Cardinals dropped their opening game to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals will send Zack Thompson to the mound, while the Dodgers counter with Bobby Miller. Zack Thompson had a rough season last year, posting a 5-7 record with a 4.48 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. During the spring, he posted a 2.81 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP in 16 innings. The Cardinals biggest signing this offseason was Sonny Gray but he is starting the season on the IL. The Dodgers come into this game with a loaded lineup and should easily make the playoffs as long as their pitching can hold up this season. The Dodgers’ potent offense should have success against Thompson who has not found success at the major or minor league levels. Bobby Miller is in the second season with the Dodgers. The Dodgers went 15-7 in games he started last season. Three of the Dodgers' four wins against the Cardinals last season were by two or more runs and they won yesterday by a 7-1 score.
