This season the Giants are 47-37 at home and the Cardinals are 40-44 on the road.

In Game 3 of this 7-game NLCS series yesterday the Giants beat the Cardinals 5-4.

The Giants lead this series 2-1.

The Giants have a little history on their side with Ryan Vogelsong on the mound, as while he had a losing record this season the team has won when he is on the hill in the post-season. The Giants won each of Vogelsong’s 4 starts in their run to the 2012 World Series win. In that span he is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA.

While Vogelsong has been solid in the post-season and the Giants won in their last series with him getting the start he is 0-2 with a 5.30 ERA in 3 starts against the Cardinals since Game 6 of the 2012 NLCS.

Shelby Miller (10-9 3.74 ERA) gets the start for the Cardinals tonight and in his last outing in the last series against the L.A. Dodgers he pitched 5 innings and gave up 2 earned runs in taking a no decision.

The Cardinals are 5-1 in Millers last 6 starts and 8-3 in their last 11 games with him on the hill facing a team that has a winning record.

Last season in 2 starts facing the Giants Miller was 2-0 with an ERA of only 1.46.

Vogelsong also took a  no decision in his last game facing the Washington Nationals in the Giants last series. In the game he gave up 1 earned run in 5 innings of work.

Overall the Giants are 3-7 in Vogelsong’s last 10 starts and 3-8 in his last 11 home starts.

In the last 2 games of this series ending in 5-4 the total has gone Over both times.

Cardinals’ Catcher Yadier Molina is valuable to the pitching staff and is solid with his bat and he is unlikely to go tonight due to an injury.
