Dodgers have to win three in a row to make the final

Cardinals have done a great job through the whole series, and last night's win provided them with a great advantage and enormous chances for the final

St. Louis Cardinals have last night made a giant step towards the finals. They have defeated the Dodgers in the fourth game of the series and are leading with 3-1. It was a game in which the Cardinals' slugger Matt Holliday did a great job and with his team leading 1-0 whacked a home run for two points that later determined the course of the game.

- That's about as good as I can hit one. The Lord gave me a little strength, and I got a good swing on it - said Holliday after the game.

The Cardinals starting pitcher also did a great job, silencing the Dodgers offense and limitiung them to just two runs. The Dodgers offense again failed and that is the most critical thing for them in this series, they just aren't constant and now they are trailing heavily and must defeat the Cardinals three times in a row to place in the finals and that is a difficult task indeed.

- The best thought I have is I've got one of the best pitchers in baseball pitching tomorrow. If we come out here and play well tomorrow and get a win, I've probably got the best pitcher in baseball pitching the next game - said the Dodgers manager Don Mattingly after the last night's game and talked about his pitching rotation, by which he emphasized that today he'll send Greinke to the mound, and if they win, in St. Louis Kershaw will be on the mound.

The aforementioned Zack Greinke will stand on the mound for the home team and try to ensure the sixth game in the series and the trip to St. Louis. This will certainly be one of the most important games of his career. In this season he has shown amazing abilities and at one point he had 11 games without a loss and the ERA below 2.00 at that period. Greinke has started this series and he pitched in St. Louis. He did a great job and allowed just two runs.

Last ten games of the regular season he ended with a 61 record and a 1.36 ERA. He was strongest on the home ground, where he had a 2.11 ERA, while against Cardinals his career was a success with a record of 8-3 and a 3.10 ERA.

- I don't think we need to think about winning three. We need to win one. That's all we need to do is win one game. We've got a pretty good guy on the hill tomorrow. You feel like you're going to have a pretty good chance of winning tomorrow. So we'll see where it goes - said the Dodgers manager Don Mattingly who wants to take it step by step.

The away team will place the ball in teh hand of young Joe Kelly, for his second start of the series. In teh first game he pitched against Greinke and just like him he allowed two runs and in the end did not participate in the decision. He also pitched in the series with Pittsburgh, but also did not participate in the decision and allowed two earned runs. He ended up the regular season with a 7-2 record from last ten games and a great ERA of 2.34.

There's no doubt that another great pitching duel is awaiting us in the Dodgers struggle to ensure the sixth game in the series. It's hard to believe that we'll see a game with a lot of runs, and all the games so far ended with a small number of runs.

This is a game of great importance and a margin of 7.5 is somewhat unexpected, given the fact two excellent pitchers will start the game and all four games played so far in the series ended with an under. Zack Greinke will take the mound for the home team and try to secure the sixth game in the series, and their trip to St. Louis. This will certainly be one of the most important games of his career. He has shown incredible ability in this season and at one point was undefeated in 11 games with an ERA below 2.00 during this period. Greinke also started this series and pitched in St. Louis. He did a great job and allowed just two runs. He ended the last ten games of the regular season with a 6-1 ratio and an ERA of 1.36. He is the strongest when playing at home, with a 2.11 ERA. In his career he was very successful against the Cardinals with a 8-3 ratio and 3.10 ERA. The visiting team will be starting with the young Joe Kelly - this will be his second start in this series. He pitched in the first game against Greinke and like him he allowed two runs and in the end he received a no decision. He also pitched in the series against Pittsburgh, but also received a no decision and allowed two earned runs. He finished the regular season with a 7-2 ratio in the last ten games with an excellent 2.34 ERA. Out of the last ten games played between these two teams, eight ended with an under. Injuries of the Dodgers also speak in favor of this bet: they are missing one of their best players Matt Kemp, Hanley Ramirez is questionable, but if he plays he will not be at his best, and Andre Ethier is also in pain and can hardly give his maximum with an injury which has been bothering him for a month.
