Matt Holliday hit a home run leading off the second inning, and Adam Wainwright retired all six batters he faced so far as the Cardinals lead the Dodgers 1-0 in the middle of the third. The Cards sort of picked up where they left off last night, leaving three men on base already.

Apprehension. The game didn't start out well for the Dodgers, with Randy Wolf loading the bases (including a IBB to Albert Pujols) in the first inning. (That's bad.) But then Wolf struck out Matt Holliday for the first out. (That's good.) And then Ronnie Belliard let a...

The win probability chart for Game 1. The Dodgers lowest odds of winning the game came in the 1st inning when Ryan Ludwick singled home Skip Schumaker with the bases loaded and one out to put the Cardinals up 1-0. At that point the Dodgers only had a 30.4% chance of winning.
