The LA Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are playing live on the NLDS schedule on Monday and the game is from Busch Stadium starting up past 9 pm ET as the National League Division Series hits the Midwest and Los Angeles will have Hyun-Jin Ryu against John Lackey in the pitching matchup and the series is tied 1-1 into Game 3 and the matchup is live from Fox Sports 1 and streaming on Fox Sports Go as the baseball playoffs in the MLB postseason continue.
The Dodgers and Cardinals come into the game after a close win for LA in the last matchup and now they are looking to take a 2-1 lead on the road. The Cardinals made a comeback against Clayton Kershaw in game 1 while the Cards had Adam Wainwright on the mound and both aces ended up getting roughed up in the matchup. Kemp delivered in the second game and now the Dodgers have the chance to take the advantage, while Matt Carpenter has been hot and he could be the difference for the Cardinals.
Brandon League ended up getting the win for the Dodgers and they are hoping to steal a game here after the Cardinals did the same in LA. The Cards simply did not give up after being down a bunch and Matt Carpenter had one of the best at bats of his life, fouling off pitch after pitch against Clayton Kershaw before delivering. In the second matchup, the Dodgers struck first with runs in the third inning and later in the eighth inning the Cardinals came back. Carpenter bashed a home run and that led Matt Kemp to respond in the eighth inning and that was where all the scoring came after this first two runs.
The Dodgers have been the team that has not been able to breakthrough the past couple years and the Cardinals are the team that has always seemed to be there. The Cardinals made it to the World Series last season and won over the Dodgers and now LA would love nothing more than to win the next two games in St. Louis to send them into the NLCS. The other series is also going on with the Giants up 2-0 on the Nationals after winning in 18 innings to take a two games to zero lead.
