The Cardinals have won their last 6 elimination games dating back to last season. They are 11-4 in their history in game 7's while the Giants have never won a game 7 and that dates back to when they were the NY Giants. Their ace takes the mound for game 7, but Cain has no pitched like an ace and going up against the Cardinals who are struggling to hit shouldn't help as he has an ERA of 5.89 and a 1.42 WHIP over three starts this year. Jon Jay, Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran are red hot vs. Cain. It won't be the worst thing if Holliday can't play today as Carpenter has been great filling in for him and is 5-6 against Cain with a HR in game 3. On the flip side the Giants have come up with some timely hitting, but Pence/Posey are a combined 6-45 in the series. If the Cardinals can avoid Scutoro having a big day who is only 3-15 vs. Lohse they should be able to again win in the under dog role.
