The projected starter for St. Louis is Jack Flaherty, who is 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.85 WHIP over 13 innings pitched this season.

St. Louis is 13-3 in their last 16 games following a loss and 8-4 in their last 12 road games. The under is 3-2-1 in St. Louis’ last 6 games against the NL Central. Pittsburgh is 16-36 in their last 52 games and 3-10 in their last 13 home games. The under is 7-2 in Pittsburgh’s last 9 Saturday games. The over is 6-1-1 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings.
St. Louis has hit a small rough patch over their last few games and will look to get back on track here. The Cardinals will start Jack Flaherty, who allowed one run over five innings in first start off of the IL. The Pirates will start JT Brubaker, who has allowed eight earned runs over his last 19 innings pitched. I am taking the over in this game as it has been a good pick over these two teams last eight meetings.
