Today's best bet: St. Louis Cardinals (-150) over Los Angeles Dodgers (Best-of-5)

Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp are clutch hitters, but the Dodgers are limping into the playoffs with a slumping Manny Ramirez and a struggling rotation. While the Cardinals' offense is a concern, Albert Pujols is due to emerge from his power drought, and he'll get help from Matt Holliday and Ryan Ludwick. St. Louis starters Chris Carpenter (17-4, 2.24 ERA) and Adam Wainwright (19-8, 2.63) dominated the Dodgers this season.
