 The Dodgers managed just one win in Cincinnati, leaving them 1.5 games back of Colorado in the NL West. Los Angeles has the best run differential in the NL having scored 133 more than their opponents. Since 1995, only the 1999 Reds have had a higher run differential and not made the NL playoffs.

 Yasiel Puig racked up three hits, including a double, and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Since joining the team in 2013, the Dodgers are 37-6 (.860) when Puig records three or more hits, the second-best mark of any active player with 30 or more games over that span (1st: Zobrist -- 50-8).

 The Cardinals took two of three from the Pirates to keep pace with Milwaukee whom they trail by 2.5 games for home-field advantage in the Wild Card game. St. Louis has done most of its damage early in games, outscoring its opponents by 113 runs in innings one through four.

 Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in 21 of his last 25 games, dating back to August 6. Over that time, he and Justin Turner are two of only five National Leaguers with 100 plate appearances to post a .300-plus batting average and a .600-plus slugging percentage (Goldschmidt; Acuna, Jr.; and Zimmerman).

 Clayton Kershaw has recorded a quality start in each of his last 12 appearances, the second-longest active streak in baseball behind Jacob deGrom's 21 straight. For his career, Kershaw has tallied a quality start in 73.4 percent of starts, the best mark of any pitcher with 200 starts in the live-ball era.

 Entering this four-game series, the Dodgers trail the Cardinals by two games in the race for the second NL Wild Card spot. St. Louis has won the last five games in this series, including a sweep at Dodger Stadium in mid-August which saw the Cards tag Kenley Jansen with two ninth-inning losses.

HP - Wolcott, 1B - Hudson, 2B - Hoye, 3B - Cooper

ST. LOUIS -- There will be playoff implications all around when the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to St. Louis for a four-game series starting Thursday, including thoughts of a potential preview for a one-game National League wild-card matchup.
Where that playoff game could potentially be played could be decided starting with Thursday's series opener, which will pit the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (7-5, 2.42 ERA) against the Cardinals' Austin Gomber (5-0, 2.93) in a battle of lefties.

Playoff implication abound in Dodgers, Cards tilt

ST. LOUIS (AP)  The Dodgers got some help from a former Cardinal before their pivotal series against St. Louis.
David Freese, who joined Los Angeles in a trade with the Pirates at the end of August, offered some insight on the Cardinals' young pitchers during the Dodgers' hitters meeting. The advice paid off.
