2011 World Series Game Four Prediction and Discussion

by John Sickels on Oct 23, 2025 1:00 PM EDT

Yesterday didn't go as predicted, but I'm still running with the Cardinals in seven games expectation. To make that plausable, the Rangers have to win today, so I predict that Texas will get some revenge this evening and beat up on Edwin Jackson, winning 9-5.

Albert Pujols will go 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and two walks.

Cardinals win, Cardinals in 5

They win tonight with another 10+ run explosion, then Carpenter comes in and shuts down the decider.

Everyone says the Rangers offense is the explosive one, but the Cardinals offense is better with Freese and Craig in the lineup, especially with a “%50” Hamilton.

Texas should win tonight

I can’t see the Cards winning 2 in a row in Texas. Granted, I’m a fan of Holland, but I bet he puts in a good start tonight.

he better

Washington really botched the pen management last game, IMO. It was bad enough that the team got blown out, but using up almost your entire pen (and going to the Alexi Ogando WAY too much) in such a game when you know you have Holland coming up next? In his three postseason starts this year, Holland has gone 5, 2 2/3, and 4 2/3 innings. With more of the same from him, the Texas bullpen would be left dangerously overexposed tonight and tomorrow against a very hot Cardinals lineup filled with difference-makers in a bandbox.

Rangers' bullpen is tired

So I will go with Cards. Do you think the Rangers regret omitting Uehara off their roster in favor of Matt Treanor?

I'm still taking the Rangers in six

Though I have made several bets with several people involving the purchase of cases of beer, in case of a Cardinals World Series win.

I’m really hoping to be buying that beer this Friday.

I agree i think the rangers in 6.

I feel like texas is going to win tonight. But if you ask me the winner of this game will win the Series. If texas wins its 2-2 and i think they will take it, but if the cards win its 3-1 for them and with carpenter coming up i dont like there chances.
