I'll pick my Cards in 6.
We have Carp possibly ready to play a role out of the BP and with the exception of MattyMo our starters have done a pretty decent job in the post season. I think the Bosox pitching is shaky. You have Schilling that's a bit of a question mark because of the injury, Pedro who's been shaky, DLowe who's inconsistent as all hell (and an asshole to boot), and Wakefield. And I'm most afraid of Wakefield if he's on.
One thing I think you can count on being a factor in this series is the team defenses. I can see Bellhorn and Ortiz on the right side flubbing a big play before thing are all over. I think the Cards can take advantage of thier "small ball" capabilities with those guys in their and we'll see what happens. Also, I can see St Louis testing V-Tek's arm. That guy is a stud (and just an all around good person) but he's doesn't have the canon you'd like behind the plate.
Oh and BTW, the Cards are there DESPITE Tony LaRussa.
