Minor League Ball Gameday, October 3: NLDS Day One

Good afternoon prospect watchers. Yesterday's prediction of Cleveland victory didn't go so well, but I don't mind the Rays so that's OK.

For today, I predict that the Cardinals defeat the Pirates in a hard-fought 3-2 victory. Nobody hits a home run, and both Adam Wainwright and A.J. Burnett pitch brilliantly. What say you?

In Atlanta, the Dodgers defeat the Braves 5-0 behind a Clayton Kershaw complete game shutout and a home from from Adrian Gonzalez. What say you?

Enjoy the games!
