Woodford against this Dodger lineup might be difficult.

Everyone getting a day off this week for the Cardinals.

I am going to be driving during the day today so I will tune in on the audio. At least until the game lulls me into a depression and I have to switch to smooth jazz to cheer up.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 41-29 on the road this season and are heavy favorites to beat the St. Louis Cardinals who are 36-32 at home. The Dodgers have a better than 55% chance of winning based on 10,000 game simulations generated one play at a time by the AccuScore Simulation Supercomputer. Both starters have a relatively low chance of having a quality start. Jake Woodford has a 30% chance of a QS and Tony Gonsolin a 27% chance. If Jake Woodford has a quality start the Cardinals has a 64% chance of winning. His simulated strikeout to walk ratio is 2.5 and he has a 17% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio. When he has a 5/1 ratio the Cardinals win 49%. If Tony Gonsolin has a quality start the Dodgers has a 75% chance of winning. His simulated strikeout to walk ratio is 3.1 and he has a 22% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio. When he has a 5/1 ratio the Dodgers win 61%. In simulations we tracked the batter for each team that was most productive based his average hits, walks and RBI per simulation. The most productive batter for the St. Louis Cardinals is Nolan Arenado who averaged 2.28 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 38% chance of having a big game with 3+ Hits, Walks, RBI and if he has a big game the Cardinals have a 56% chance of winning. The most productive batter for the Los Angeles Dodgers is Max Muncy who averaged 2.45 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 42% chance of having a big game with 3+ Hits, Walks, RBI and if he has a big game the Dodgers have a 67% chance of winning.

Don't understand the Woodford thing.

He has been terrible at each level of the minors. How he got promoted to begin with is beyond me. Terrible in the majors too.

I mean not just "bad" but awful numbers. FIP above 5 in the minors and majors.

What am I missing?

Just getting out the 1st inning will be massive. Mike better have a bullpen plan from the 2nd inning on. We need to be prepared to have a bullpen game like they've done the last couple days.

Being a perfect right-handed compliment to Happ and Lester?

Then when we get Hudson back next year, he'll look like goddamn Roger Clemens by comparison.
