I think people have lost sight of the fact that the Mets were/are the best team in the NL this year. They slowed down the stretch, but closed out with a 4 game winning streak. They then went on to destroy the Dodgers! Next!

i think nym should win, but i will take stl +170 anyday. Great value there in what should be a very tight series imo.

Sorry, but Mets were in a league of their own this year, as the NL was just pathetic. The Cards got the booby prize here, but they're gone 5...

i just dont think the cards pitching will shut down the mets bats like they did against the pads, buy who knows look what the tigers pitching did to the best lineup in baseball

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.

Edge in starting pitching????? Am I missing something there. Just do not see that. Carpenter probally is the best pitcher in Series, but after that its pretty questionable I think. This is not the Padres hitting no more, BIG step up with the Mets on hitting.

I don't have much explaination behind it but I think the Cards roll over the Mets. The best bullpen in the league may not be able to make up for a beat up starting pitching lineup. When you have Carpenter and Pujoles (how do you spell that guys name?) you are always capable of winning.

The Cardinals don't have any starting pitching besides Carpenter. Soup Can and Dream Weaver pitch one good game and now they are supposed to be good. The Mets win this series due to speed, offense and bullpen. JMO!

mets have been huge on offense ALL year..except that last series with the Braves...they can allow the cards a few runs here and there and still have an awfully good chance of still winning..sure pitching and defense are key...but they really take the heat off the pitching staff with their hitting and speed...Lets Go Mets!! I Believe!!!
