The Cardinals try to sweep their second series in a row and to extend their win streak to 7. St. Louis is 7-4 against the Eastern Division while the Mets are 4-10 vs the Central. A win today would put the Cardinals 3 games behind the first place Brewers who are off today. Neither team does particularly well in day games as the Cards are 12-16 and the Mets are 13-17 during day starts.
I wonder if some of these New York Metropolitans were out celebrating the New York Knickerbockers victory late into this morning. If so, the St. Louis Cardinals may have an advantage.
