The St. Louis Cardinals have struggled at the plate of late and have scored just 11 runs over their last four games while winning just one. We saw them fall 2-1 to the Mets in the series opener at Citi Field last night, and it looks like we could be in for another pitcher's duel here tonight.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Mets will hand the ball to Jonathon Niese (3-3, 2.49 ERA) as he's coming off one of his worst outings on the year when he surrendered six runs (four earned) on six hits over 6 1/3 innings at Wrigley Field his last start. He's been nearly flawless at home though, compiling a 1.35 ERA over three starts while going 2-1 and he owns a 4-2 record and 2.27 ERA in seven overall career starts versus the Cardinals who will counter with Michael Wacha (5-0, 2.06 ERA). He's 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in three career starts against the Mets.
2. Bullpens - The Cardinals boast the best bullpen in the National League with an ERA of 2.17, while the Mets relievers are also quite capable, ranking right behind St. Louis with the second lowest ERA in the league (2.52).
3. X-Factor - Matt Holliday has been one of the Cardinals most productive hitters of late and reached base in each of his first 36 games, but he's just 3-for-15 with one walk and three strikeouts lifetime against Niese
Selection: This is a play on the Cardinals/Mets to go UNDER the total (Free)
