ALCS Cardinals vs. Giants Game 4 Preview

The reigning champion Cardinals will look to get back to the Fall Classic tonight.

The St. Louis Cardinals are looking to join the Detroit Tigers in the Fall Classic, and a win tonight against San Francisco would do it. Lance Lynn is set to take the bump for the Cardinals, and veteran Barry Zito will counter for the Giants, who's season is in jeopardy. The power pitcher Lynn, brings his 3.28 ERA at home, and microscopically low 2.96 ERA in the night-time this year, to tonight's game, and he should have the advantage over the aging Zito, whose 4.15 ERA during the regular season is nothing to boast about. Another reason for Giants fans to worry, is that the Cardinals have hit lefty's hard this season. They have a .276 batting average this year against southpaws, and the heart of the lineup, Matt Holiday, Allen Craig, Yadier Molina, and David Freese have fared even better, hitting .333. Meanwhile, Giants bats have been struggling this post-season, and have an abysmal .219 BA to show for it. The Cards are the pick here to win it, and set up a rematch of the 2006 world series with the San Francisco Giants.   The Pick: Cardinals -1.5 runs for 2 Units to get 3 Units
