Make or break series for the St. Louis Cardinals and the National League
Wildcard and for the Dodgers we're gonna get another look this week at Tariq
Schubel who's scheduled to start on Thursday. Tom, it's McGreevy, Palante is
expected to return for St. Louis off the IL and then Quinn Matthews. Naturally
the Dodgers on Wednesday and Thursday are gonna be probably minus 250s or
minus 300s if St. Louis needs a win and wants to win. They got to get this first
one coming up on Tuesday. They really do and the you know Lauer situation you
know we talked about Robleski just Lauer Robleski you need some innings
those are the guys that can come out of the pen you can bring them out of the
pen in a you know bulk reliever role whatever it is they can start games for
you so you know as it relates to the dynamic of the Dodgers overall this is a
non-series for them really at the end of the day this is just a matter does
Yamamoto look good does Schubel continue to look good and they move on
whether or not they drop a game I'm not gonna be too shocked at I don't think
this is a sweep for the Dodgers but if it's coming anytime it's got to be that
game one for the Cardinals
