Los Angeles Dodgers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction: Bet on over high

The St. Louis Cardinals will face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers this Sunday at Dodger Stadium in an MLB matchup. Let's analyze this game from a betting standpoint and identify the most favorable bets to consider.

The Los Angeles Dodgers aim to extend their winning streak to three games after securing victories in their opening two matches of the season. Mookie Betts leads the Dodgers' offensive charge with an impressive tally of 8 hits, including 3 home runs, along with 9 RBIs and a double. Teoscar Hernandez has contributed with 4 hits, including 2 homers, a double, and 4 RBIs. Will Smith has notched 7 hits, including 2 doubles, and two RBIs, while Shohei Ohtani, Max Muncy, James Outman, and Jason Heyward have each contributed 2 RBIs. Additionally, Freddie Freeman has added a home run and three RBIs to the mix. Muncy and Hernandez share the team lead with 8 strikeouts each for the season. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound for the Dodgers, currently holding a 0-1 record with a 45.00 ERA and 2 strikeouts this season. Notably, the Dodgers have emerged victorious in their last seven home games against the St. Louis Cardinals. However, they have struggled to cover the run line in seven of their last eight games following a home win.

The St. Louis Cardinals enter this game still in search of their first victory after dropping to 0-2 for the season following a 6-3 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Paul Goldschmidt leads the Cardinals with three hits, including their only home run of the season thus far. Meanwhile, Nolan Gorman boasts a team-high of two RBIs but also shares the team-high of four strikeouts with Victor Scott II. Gorman has managed a pair of hits, including a double, while Masyn Winn also has two hits to his name. Taking the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals will be Lance Lynn, who posted a record of 13-11 with a 5.73 ERA and 191 strikeouts last season. Notably, the Cardinals have suffered defeat in each of their last seven outings at Dodger Stadium. Furthermore, the home team has covered the run line in each of the Cardinals' last four games.

I believe this game has the potential for a high-scoring affair. Yamamoto's performance during spring training and in the Korea matchup hasn't been impressive, while Lynn, although pitching well for the Los Angeles Dodgers for the most part last year, struggled with allowing home runs, with a league-high 44 homers conceded and finishing the year with a combined ERA just under six. Consequently, this could present an opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals offense to break out. Additionally, the Los Angeles Dodgers have demonstrated proficiency in scoring runs thus far. However, playing at home, I predict the Dodgers will emerge victorious in a high-scoring game.
