The Mets and Cubs can finish things off with the Cardinals sent home.
The mighty St. Louis Cardinals face elimination today, but they will face it the right way. John Lackey is assigned the task of keeping the Cardinals alive against Cubs starter Jason Hammel. The Cubs set a playoff record with six home runs in Game Three, so keeping them in the ballpark will be Lackey's #1 goal. The two teams are now underway on TBS.
In the nightcap, the Mets will try to finish off the Dodgers with left-handed rookie Stephen Matz facing Cy Young contender Clayton Kershaw.
