St Louis Cardinals at LA Dodgers MLB Playoffs Game 5 Free Tip

Thursday 17th OCTOBER - Free MLB Betting Tip

St Louis Cardinals at LA Dodgers

Kelly ( 2.69 ) ERA vs Greinke ( 2.63 )

Yesterday St Louis got the win and took a commanding 3-1 lead. Obviously this is a MUST-WIN situation for the LA Dodgers. A loss would end their season and catapult St Louis into the World Series.

Today we get to see two great pitchers. Kelly pitched against Greinke in Game 1 of this series. Kelly and St Louis got the win that day, but only because Greinke got no run support. We are giving the edge to Greinke today. Now that the Dodgers have seen Kelly's sinker they should be very aggressive and will probably attack it more than in game 1.

Dodger Stadium has been electric lately and could play a big factor in this game. 

Dont write the Dodgers off just yet. Yes 3-1 down seem's like mission impossible but the Dodgers have been doing the impossible all year. If Dodgers can win today St Louis will then have to face Kershaw who is arguably the best pitcher in the MLB. This would tie the series at 3-3 and then anything can happen in game 7. Dodgers are currently paying $6.25 to win the National League. We are recommending a small play on this.

We know Greinke will take care of business today. Hopefully he can get some run support. If Dodgers go out they, will go out swinging. 

BET ON: LA DODGERS to win National League (small play)

BET ON: LA DODGERS to win Game 5 (2 UNITS)
