MLB Betting: Giants vs. Cardinals. The Cardinals and San Francisco Giants depart the west coast and travel to the Midwest as this NLCS continues this afternoon in St. Louis. Game 3 in Busch Stadium is scheduled to begin at 4:05 PM ET with television coverage provided by FOX.
The series is tied at one win apiece after the Giants handily beat the Cards 7-1 on Monday night. A four-run fourth inning sparked the victory. Previously, in the series opener, the Cardinals had posted a 6-4 road win on Sunday. Game two featured a play at second base, which saw Matt Holliday slide hard into shortstop Marc Scutaro which may still have a payback in the offing.
