Pitching and defense wins in the playoffs. Cards have edge in sp and though going into playoffs, Mets had edge at bullpen,Cards bullpen have gone 13 innings pitched and given up 0 runs. Game 1 and Game 4 are the key games. Both have injury issues. I think this series will be a lot closer than people expect. I just think Cards are playing real well as a team and not relying on Albert Pujols. Key for Cards is getting someone or more than one someone to step up and take pressure off of Albert. Cards win in hard fought series.
