The New York Mets will go for a 2-0 NLCS series lead on Friday when they host the St.Louis Cardinals at Shea Stadium, hoping to take advantage of playing at home.
The Cards are -120 favorites to tie the series on the road, while the Mets are listed at +110, with a posted total of 8.
The Mets will go with John Maine on the hill this evening. Maine won his first start of the playoffs by going 4 1/3 innings, giving up six hits and one run. David Wright leads the Mets with four RBIS and a staggering .753 AVG at the plate in this postseason.
The Cards will start Chris Carpenter, who is 2-0 in these playoffs. Carpenter went 6 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits as St.Louis would eliminate the Padres. As expected, Albert Pujols is pacing the St.Louis attack with a homer and three RBIS so far in the postseason.
Carlos Beltran hit his fifth career postseason homer against the Cardinals, and Tom Glavine scattered four hits over seven innings as the Mets took Game 1 at Shea Stadium 2-0 on Thursday night.
