Dodgers vs. Cardinals: Keys to Each Team Winning NLCS Game 4

The Los Angeles Dodgers finally showed some signs of life in the NLCS, as they got back on track with a Game 3 win on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Still down 2-1 in the series, the Dodgers have some work to do as Lance Lynn (15-10, 3.97 ERA) takes the hill for the Cardinals. The Dodgers will counter with Ricky Nolasco (13-11, 3.70 ERA).

A win by the Dodgers puts them in great position, as Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw will each get another start. Conversely, a loss gives the Cardinals three chances to win the series.

Here's a look at a few keys for both teams in Game 4.
