Game 1 will be played at 12:15 p.m. with the second game scheduled for 5:15 p.m.

Mets right-hander Blade Tidwell, making his major league debut, is expected to start Game 1 against righty Andre Pallante (2-2, 4.13 ERA).

The teams have not announced the pitching matchups for Game 2.

Tylor Megill (3-2, 1.74 ERA) was scheduled to start Saturday for New York against fellow right-hander Erick Fedde (1-3, 4.68) as the Mets look to win their 10th straight over the Cardinals dating back to last season.
