St. Louis at New York

Chris Carpenter takes to the mound to try to even the series. He's 17-8 on the seasno with a 3.03 ERA and took care of business against San Diego going 2-0 allowing 3 runs in 13.3 innings. John Maine is just 6-5 on the season (4-4 at home). He pitched well against the Dodgers on October 4th but he went just 4.3 innings. He admitted he was very nervous in that game and I expect that again today. New York is getting a lot of respect here due to their recent run of 8 straight wins. But, this is Chris Carpenter. He's 50-19 the past two seasons. I think he pitches great and New York has trouble scoring. St. Louis isn't going to score a lot either. With Carpenter on the mound, the Cards are 13-4 UNDER this season vs. teams scoring 4.8+ runs per game. I expect a very low scoring affair with the Cards eeking out a win.
