The Indians have fallen into fourth place in the Central Division and are 14 games behind first-place <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Detroit</st1lace></st1:City>. They need to work on their offense in order to steal at least one game.
The Cardinals are leading their division and will seek to continue their dominance. They have not faltered even with the loss of 1B Albert Pujols. They are still dominating teams and bookmakers have noticed. The Cardinals have been heavy favorites on a consistent basis.
