Chris Carpenter will look to put the Giants in a big hole tonight, for the reigning champion Cardinals, while Ryan Vogelsong will look to keep his Giants away from their grave. The Cardinals are red-hot and won Game 1 6-4. Right now, the Giants are getting 2/1 on covering the -1.5 spread. On paper it looks like the Cardinals might have the edge, however Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter has only pitched in 3 games this regular season due to receiving surgery to repair a nerve problem in his shoulder. In addition, Carpenter has a much worse ERA of 3.78 in his last 3 seasons at home compared to his dominant 2.96 at home. Meanwhile Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong has pitched well recently, giving up only 2 runs in his last 4 outings. The Over/Under line of 6.5 is way to low for a playoff baseball game, so we'll take the Giants and Over. The Pick: Giants -1.5 2 Units to get 4 Units; Over 6.5 for 3 Units.
