NLDS - St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Cardinals lead series 1-0Series Price: Dodgers opened -180, Cardinals now -165 (Aliante)Season Series: Dodgers won 4-3NL Pennant odds: Dodgers 3-to-1, Cardinals 2-to-1 (Westgate)World Series odds: Dodgers 6-to-1, Cardinals 9-to-2 (Westgate)

Game 2 Linemakers lean: Lance Lynn is 4-1 all-time against the Dodgers, but what stands out the most about Lynn is that the Cardinals lost his last four starts, including a pivotal game at Arizona last Saturday as the Cards were trying to close out the NL Central. He wasn’t rocked, but perhaps it was a sign that Lynn is a little fatigued near the end of a season again. In five postseason starts, he’s 1-3 with a 5.56 ERA.

We like the Dodgers to bounce back tonight behind Zack Greinke, who went 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA against the Cardinals this season. He comes in on a tear where the Dodgers, helping the Dodgers win all five of his September starts. He allowed two runs or fewer in four of those turns.

Game 1, Friday: Cardinals 10-9, Adam Wainwright (20-9, 2.38) vs. Clayton Kershaw (21-3, 1.77) -200, 5.5 OV -115Game 2, Saturday: Lance Lynn (15-10, 2.74) vs. Zack Greinke (17-8, 2.71) -165, 7 UNDER -120Game 3, Monday: Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7, 3.38) vs. John Lackey (14-10, 3.82)Game 4, Tuesday: Dan Haren (13-11, 4.02) vs. Shelby Miller (10-9, 3.74)

Hyun-Jin Ryu shoulder update: Ryu tossed a bullpen session Sunday without any pain and a 45-pitch simulated game Wednesday without irritation. He’ll start Game 3 according to manager Don Mattingly.

Early Linemakers series lean: We still like the Dodgers to win the series, and now that they’re down 0-1, they get +145 on the price instead of the -180 they were laying before the series started. The Dodgers are also a season-high 6-to-1 to win the World Series.
