Four pitchers combined to shut out the Tigers. Jake Peavy now takes the mound to send the Red Sox one game closer to the World Series. The Red Sox are 4-1 in Peavy&#8217;s last 5 road starts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/mlb\">Odds: Red Sox (+117) vs Tigers (-127); O\/U: 7.0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Tigers\u2019 famed rotation has held up their end of the bargain; the first three starters have combined for 21 innings, 2 earned runs and 35 strikeouts. Doug Fister must produce a similar performance if the Tigers\u2019 big bats continue to misfire. The Over is 4-1 in Fister&#8217;s last 5 home starts.<\/p>\n<h4>St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Pitching Match-up:\u00a0 STL: Joe Kelly (10-5, 2.73 ERA) vs LAD: Zack Greinke (15-5, 2.63 ERA)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www1.pictures.zimbio.com\/gi\/Zack+Greinke+Colorado+Rockies+v+Los+Angeles+dmP2GDtsFV0l.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With a win tonight, St. Louis can book their second trip to the World Series in three years. Although the Cardinals bats have been relatively silent through the first four games, the strong Cardinals bullpen has only surrendered one earned run in 14 innings of relief in the series. The Cardinals are 4-1 in their last 5 playoff games.<\/p>\n<p>They will face Zack Greinke, who will be tasked with saving the Dodgers\u2019 season. The Dodgers ace gave up 2 runs in 8 innings with 10 strikeouts in Game 2. The Dodgers are 12-2 in Greinke&#8217;s last 14 home starts. However, LA needs to score more runs if they hope to stay alive. The Dodgers still find themselves on the brink of elimination despite outhitting the Cardinals in all four games in the series.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/\" target=\"_blank\">For the most comprehensive list of NFL, NCAAF, MLB, and NHL game odds and betting lines<\/a>, \u00a0visit Top Bet Sportsbook.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"7354\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,876&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cardinals can close out the Dodgers and head to the World Series, while the Red Sox could soon be following them with another win tonight.
