Dodgers @ Cardinals – First Pitch: 7:45 p.m.
In an exciting MLB matchup, the Los Angeles Dodgers square off against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Despite being the away team, the Dodgers start as favorites (-153), with Adam Wainwright taking the mound for the Cardinals.
The game features an interesting pitching matchup. For the Dodgers, Julio Urias takes the mound, and his recent performance might raise some eyebrows. His xFIP over the past 30 days is slightly concerning at 4.66. As a left-handed pitcher, Urias has held his own against lefties, but he struggles when facing right-handed hitters. His right-side profile shows a .336 weighted on-base average and a troublesome .275 ISO power number. Today, he’s likely to face at least eight right-handed batters.
Turning our attention to the Cardinals’ starting pitcher, Wainwright has not been at his best either. Over the last month, encompassing his season, he holds an xFIP of 5.02. Left-handed batters have been particularly troubling for him, with a weighted on-base percentage of .438 and an ISO of .280. Against right-handed batters, his numbers are slightly above average, with a .339 weighted on-base percentage and an ISO power number of .222.
The forecast seems to favor a high-scoring game, with temperatures around 75 degrees and minimal wind interference. Plus, the Dodgers’ anticipated lineup looks strong against Wainwright. The ISO power numbers are also strong for the Cards, hinting at a potential run-fest in St. Louis tonight.
