Los Angeles Dodgers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 06/08/25

The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to get their offense going this afternoon as they try to avoid getting swept by the St. Louis Cardinals. The Dodgers went 1-for-25 with runners in scoring position this series, something they can’t afford to do in today’s matchup if they want any shot of winning. Taking the mound for the Dodgers will be Clayton Kershaw who will be making his fifth start of the season as he recovers from knee and toe surgery. Kershaw is 0-0 with a 5.17 ERA on the season.

For the Cardinals, Michael McGreevy will be making his second start of the year. He is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. The Dodgers’ offense is way better than what they’ve displayed over the last 2 games. On the year, Los Angeles has a .801 OPS and average 5.5 runs per game. For the Cardinals, they are slightly behind the Dodgers with a .724 OPS and average 4.7 runs per game. The Dodgers’ pitching has been a concern this year, posting a team ERA of 4.13 compared to the Cardinals’ 3.82. There’s not much we can go on with McGreevy, as he has only made 1 start this season — but I like the way he looked in his last outing against the Mets. The Cardinals have been able to capitalize with runners in scoring position, and I think they’ll take advantage of a weak L.A. bullpen and get to Kershaw early on in this matchup, making STL my best bet of the day.
