Dodgers Edge Cardinals in Wild-Card Race | MLB News

The Dodgers are cruising back home after a win over Detroit, holding a nine-and-a-half-game division lead but still clinging to the third seed—meaning they’ll need to fight for a wild-card spot. The Cardinals? Struggling, five games out of the final wild-card berth, but not to be underestimated—they beat LA twice in May. With roster expansion looming Tuesday, LA can add Will Smith and keep their six-man rotation intact. Pitching matchups: Eric Lauer vs. Michael McGreevy (who’s no stranger to LA), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (on fire in August) facing an unannounced Cards starter, and Tarik Skubal making his Dodgers debut against Quinn Mathews in a matchup with personal stakes.
