Cardinals vs. Dodgers: Highly Anticipated 2024 MLB Season Kicks Off with a Matchup of National League Powerhouses

The 2024 Major League Baseball season is kicking off with a highly anticipated match between two National League powerhouses – the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals are coming off a disappointing 71-91 season in 2023, their first losing season since 2007 and their first 90-loss campaign since 1990. Meanwhile, the Dodgers continued their dominance by securing their 11th straight trip to the postseason after winning an impressive 100 games.

The Cardinals and Dodgers will face off against each other on Thursday, March 28 at 4:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Fans can catch the game through live streams on Fubo or MLB.TV, while it will be broadcasted on SportsNet LA and Bally Sports Midwest. The probable pitchers for the game are RHP Miles Mikolas for the Cardinals and RHP Tyler Glasnow for the Dodgers. With an over/under of 8.5 runs, the odds are stacked in favor of the reigning champions.

For the Cardinals, they have some concerns in their rotation apart from veteran right-hander Sonny Gray, who was initially scheduled to start on Opening Day but suffered a hamstring injury during spring training and is now on the injured list. This leaves Mikolas to step into his place, despite his subpar performance last season. However, with Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn added to the rotation during the offseason, age and effectiveness could affect their pitching as they get older.

On the other hand, Ohtani’s career with the Dodgers has been overshadowed by a gambling scandal that is still unfolding despite his presence on the team bringing excitement to the opener of the 2024 season.”
