KEY GAME INFORMATION
ST LOUIS: ST. LOUIS (AP) - Last October, the St. Louis Cardinals were sufficiently flush with arms that they carried rookie Shelby Miller and deposed closer Edward Mujica in ceremonial roles and made it to Game 6 of the World Series against Boston.
After leading major league rookies with 15 wins, Miller was limited to one postseason inning due to concerns about a heavy workload. Mujica was used only in mop-up duty after mid-September.
The National League champions are perhaps even deeper, across the board, entering opening day March 31 at Cincinnati. The team that tied for the major league high with 97 wins has a surplus of viable candidates.
''I think we have the potential to be great,'' said ace Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games and finished second in NL Cy Young balloting. ''We just have to go out there, not listen to the hype, and perform.''
The 32-year-old Wainwright qualifies as the grizzled leader of a rotation that could include three members coming off big rookie debuts. Michael Wacha was a postseason sensation and the NLCS MVP, Miller went wire-to-wire as the fifth starter and Carlos Martinez, who's had an impressive spring, moved into the setup role when fellow rookie Trevor Rosenthal took over as closer.
Wacha and Martinez are 22, Miller and Rosenthal just 23.
There's also 15-game winner Lance Lynn, who struck out 10 in four innings of his last spring training start, and lefty Jaime Garcia could fit into the mix sometime in April coming off shoulder surgery. And don't forget Joe Kelly, another rookie who won 10 games and was the rotation's strongest starter much of the second half.
And one of the National League's best lineups, too.
Much is expected from a loyal fan base that extends several states, and that's OK.
''Our expectations,'' Lynn said, ''are higher than theirs.''
NY METS: NEW YORK (AP) - Five straight losing seasons. That's what the New York Mets have produced since moving into Citi Field.
David Wright, for one, is tired of it.
''We need to start going out there showing results,'' the star third baseman said. ''The last couple years we've kind of been hampered by some contracts and payroll issues. It seems like that's behind us. At the same time, we've got those prospects knocking at the door. I think we're in a better place now than we have been the past few years and quite frankly, I think we have a better team.''
Translation: No more waiting for next year. No more selling the future. No more excuses.
It's time to take a step forward - and that means winning.
General manager Sandy Alderson seems to think so, too. After he signed free agents Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young this offseason, a report emerged that Alderson told staffers he thinks the Mets can win 90 games (with a payroll under $90 million).
Even hard-core fans found that overly optimistic, especially with ace Matt Harvey expected to miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. New York posted its second consecutive 74-88 record last year - and that was with Harvey on the mound most of the way.
But there is reason for hope, particularly in Triple-A. Touted young pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero could soon join a promising rotation that includes Colon, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jonathon Niese.
''He's got all the traits of the good ones,'' manager Terry Collins said about Syndergaard. ''He's on track to be special.''
The offense could be better with the addition of Granderson, who got a $60 million, four-year deal after an injury-plagued season for the Yankees across town. His left-handed power bat should provide some much-needed protection for Wright.
The multitalented Young, on a one-year contract following a down season in Oakland, appears highly motivated to regain his All-Star form.
''It's been interesting to watch the whole team,'' Granderson said early in spring training. ''There's power here. Chris Young has been amazing.''
The lineup remains flawed and prone to strikeouts, though the roster has improved. Perhaps not enough to push Washington and Atlanta in the NL East just yet, but the Mets expect to take significant strides this season as they anticipate Harvey's return in 2015.
''When I re-signed here, I knew it wasn't an overnight fix. I think I like that part of the challenge of it,'' Wright said. ''I want to be part of the reason why we get this thing turned around and headed in the right direction and ultimately start winning again. I think we have that ability.''

*Cardinals-Mets Preview* ========================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

St. Louis (12-9) at New York (10-10), 1:10 p.m. EDT

Lance Lynn is making a habit out of getting off to impressive starts for the St. Louis Cardinals.

With a little help from his teammates, Bartolo Colon could be doing the same for the New York Mets.

Lynn looks to become the first in the majors to register five wins Thursday as the Cardinals attempt to beat Colon for the first time and salvage a split of this four-game set at Citi Field.

Lynn is 4-0 with a 3.42 ERA in his first four outings after winning his first five decisions last season and first six starts in 2012.

He's allowed one run and struck out 16 in 12 2-3 innings over his past two starts, including Saturday's 4-3 win at Washington in which he gave up a solo homer before being pulled with two outs in the sixth.

"I'm not going to lie to you, my stuff was better than it's been all year," said Lynn, who helped himself with an RBI double. "That's the disappointing thing about the way the game finished for me."

Lynn may feel the same way about going 0-1 in two appearances - one start - at Citi Field. He's given up four runs with six walks while hitting a batter in 6 1-3 innings.

The right-hander earned a 6-3 home victory in his lone meeting with the Mets last year, battling through a career-high 124 pitches while surrendering three runs with five walks in seven innings May 13.

While Lynn's 38 wins over the past four seasons are the most for the Cardinals (12-10), he's been aided by an average of 6.25 runs of support in his starts - the highest for any starter in baseball over that stretch.

Colon (1-3, 5.40) hasn't been afforded the same luxury with New York (11-10).

The right-hander is getting an average of 2.88 runs over his four outings, and he's been backed by four total runs in his three defeats.

Colon got one run Saturday while allowing three in seven innings of a 7-5 loss to Atlanta.

He's 2-0 with a 3.75 ERA in four starts against St. Louis, allowing one run in eight innings of a 6-1 victory June 28 while with Oakland.

A similar outing may be needed since the Mets' bats are scuffling despite winning three of four games. They've hit .175 with nine runs over that stretch, getting four hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win after another four-hit performance in a 3-0 loss Tuesday.

Curtis Granderson is batting .125 for New York, and his first-inning single Wednesday snapped a career-worst hitless stretch of 22 at-bats. It also helped increase his average at home to .104.

Despite going 1 for 9 in this series, Granderson has a .407 career average against St. Louis in the regular season.

While the Mets are trying to solve their offensive issues, Yadier Molina is pacing the Cardinals with a .429 average during a 14-game hitting streak, matching his career high set May 1-22, 2007.

The catcher has six hits in this series after getting three - two doubles - Wednesday, but he's come up empty in four at-bats against Colon.
