LOS ANGELES -- Familiarity will become a trend when the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers begin a three-game series Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn (4-2, 2.78 ERA) will oppose Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (7-2, 2.15 ERA) in the opening game, the first of seven contests in the next 10 days between the two clubs.
The Dodgers and Cardinals also will play a four-game set May 29-June 1 in St. Louis.
"It's going to be a test, for sure," Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright told MLB.
