To say that the Dodgers‘ first road trip of the season was a bit of a roller coaster ride would be an understatement.
Four days after Los Angeles recorded their first series sweep of the season against the Rockies in Denver, the Dodgers were handled convincingly in all four games by the Cardinals in St. Louis. Entering the series, the Redbirds were just 4-5, while the Boys in Blue were sporting an impressive 8-2 record.
At first glance, it appears that the quality of opposition in the NL Central will be much more difficult for the Dodgers than the teams they will encounter in the West.
