St. Louis won 6-4 as a +116 road underdog in game 1 but was then bested 7-1 by the San Francisco Giants who were favored at odds of -110 on the money line. Both games in the National League Championship Series have gone over their respective totals, while Las Vegas has set Wednesday’s line at 7 runs. The home-team Cardinals are currently a -125 betting favorite.

The road team has won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings between these teams, including when the Giants won 2 of the last 3 in the regular season despite being underdogs in St. Louis. San Francisco and St. Louis met up 6 times during regular season play and each team won 3 of those games with the over and under also splitting with 3 each.

Tonight’s starting pitchers will be a pair of right-handers as Matt Cain (17-6, 1.05 WHIP, 2.90 ERA) of the Giants gets set to square off against Kyle Lohse (17-3, 1.07 WHIP, 2.82 ERA) of the Cardinals. The winning team has scored 6 or more runs in 5 of the last 7 games played between these teams, while the losing squad has scored 2 or less in 5 of the last 6.

Cain was a tick more hittable against the Cincinnati Reds in the last round of the playoffs than he was during the regular season, and he’s also given up 9 earned runs over 11.2 innings pitched against St. Louis this year. Lohse has been the better pitcher over the last few weeks but he hasn’t faced the Giants this year after giving up just 1 earned run over 8.0 innings pitched against them in 2011.
