Boston bungled Game 3, particularly with the grounder where the SS & 2B got in each other's way and then also on the bunt where 1st base was left uncovered. They are still the better team but left Tampa hanging around, which is always dangerous in the playoffs.

The Cards & Pirates played a great Game 4. Over the past 10 years, St. Louis has proved to be quite a resilient team and will be very tough in an elimination game. That said, I am pulling for the underdog Pirates.
