The Cardinals are the top run scorers in the postseason so far, scoring an impressive 44 runs across their seven games to date. That's a massive 18 more than the Detroit Tigers - the second highest scoring team.
If the Giants cannot find away to keep the big guns of St Louis quiet then this series could be over quickly.
The Giants will be looking to Ryan Vogelsong to take on the Cardinals' offense. He started one game earlier this year against the Cardinals where he did not let through any runs, so San Francisco will be hoping he can repeat that feat tonight. Vogelsong was also impressive against Cincinnati in the NLDS where he pitched five scoreless innings.
Meanwhile the Cardinals will start with Chris Carpenter on the mound. Carpenter is a big postseason player for the Cardinals and has a record of 10-2 for St Louis with a 2.88 ERA in 16 postseason starts.
Both of these two teams are packed with talent holding extensive experience of the postseason - the Giants and Cardinals won the 2010 and the 2011 World Series respectively.
Game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the St Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants will start at 8.07 p.m. ET on Fox.
