The Cardinals will look to take a 2-0 lead over the Giants in the NLCS on Monday night.

Of the 18 teams who have taken a 2-0 lead in the NLCS, 16 have gone on to win it.

Add in the American League's history, and 2-0 teams are 35-for-40 in the LCS.

However, San Francisco may be comfortable in an early hole. They lost the first two games against the Reds in the NLDS, but rallied to win three straight and advance.
