The 2024 Major League Baseball season begins with a highly anticipated matchup between two National League powerhouses – the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Cardinals had a disappointing 71-91 season in 2023, their first losing streak since 2007 and their first 90-loss campaign since 1990. On the other hand, the Dodgers continued their winning streak by securing their 11th straight trip to the postseason after winning 100 games. The Dodgers also made significant moves in the offseason, signing free agents Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Cardinals will face the Dodgers on Thursday, March 28 at 4:10 PM ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Fans can follow the game via live streaming on Fubo or MLB.TV, while it will be broadcast on SportsNet LA and Balli Sports Midwest. The probable pitchers for the game are RHP Myles Mikolas for the Cardinals and RHP Tyler Glasnow for the Dodgers. The odds are in favor of the Dodgers with an over/under of 8.5 runs.
