NLDS Day 4 Game Thread: Cardinals @ Cubs, Mets @ Dodgers

We are two individual wins away from seeing Mets/Cubs in the NLCS. Prepare your apocalypse-proof bunkers, because we're all going down.

The National League is back in action today, with the Cubs and Mets looking to close out their series at home, while the Cardinals and Dodgers try to do what the Royals and Blue Jays did yesterday: Force a Game 5 that will put them back at home.

Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals

Are the Cubs really about to head to the NLCS? If they can put up another eight runs like they did in last night's contest, probably. This game comes less than 24 hours after the last one ended.

Conventional wisdom would say that a Jacob deGrom/Clayton Kershaw matchup means this will be a low-scoring affair, but Kershaw has struggled in the playoffs, and the Mets racked up 13 runs in last night's win. So... Good luck, Dodgers!
