 Red-hot Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers head into St. Louis to face the Cardinals on Tuesday. Ramirez is 8 for 13 with two home runs and five RBIs since coming over from Boston. "He certainly changes the personality of our lineup." Dodgers’ manager Joe Torre said, "That presence is going to help other people get better, because they're not going to want to pitch to Manny - especially with men on base. So it figures that the guys at the top of the lineup are going to get better pitches to hit." SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Dodgers on the Road. MLB Betting Preview
