It’s Monday, August 4, and the Cardinals (56-57) are gearing up to face the Dodgers (65-47) in Los Angeles. St. Louis plans to start Sonny Gray on the mound, while Tyler Glasnow is set to pitch for the Dodgers.

As their west coast road trip continues, the Cardinals aim to bounce back after dropping two out of three games to the Padres. Currently, St. Louis has struggled, posting a 2-7 record over their last nine games and winning just one of the last six as they prepare to challenge the Dodgers.

This season, St. Louis holds a 2-1 edge over Los Angeles, but the Dodgers have recently hit their stride. With a 4-2 record in the past six contests and a recovery to a 7-5 record after a three-game losing streak post All-Star break, the Dodgers are showing strong form.

Let’s delve into the matchup, offering up insights and talking points. We’ve compiled all the vital details—how to catch the game, the latest odds, team trends, player stats, and of course, expert predictions and betting tips from our top-notch analysts.
