Cardinals vs. Dodgers

BEST BET: Cardinals at the run line with Caesars (-115)

It's going to be an almighty task for St. Louis to come away with the Wild Card win against the reigning World Series champs, but if any team could do it, it's got to be the club that is coming off a recent 17-game win streak. The Cardinals did eventually have that streak broken last week against the Brewers, but it's no doubt given them the confidence that they can take it right to the Dodgers in this one. 

Adam Wainwright will be on the mound for the win-or-go-home game, coming up against LA's Max Scherzer. Both have been giving up runs as of late with a 5.06 and 5.82 ERAs respectively over their last three, so this might not be the low scoring game that we've come to expect from the Dodgers, but that may present an opportunity for St. Louis to get on the board early and defend something in the later innings. 

BEST PROP: Trea Turner to hit a home run with Caesars (+360)

The LA slugger is the man with the hot hand for the Dodgers right now, going yard three times in his last three games of the regular season (two of those coming in the same game admittedly). If the promise of runs holds true as per our estimates, this is a great spot for Turner who has a good record against Wainwright, registering five hits from 14 plate appearances against Waino in his career.
