In his career against the Pirates, he is 2-1 with a 4.15 ERA and 18 strikeouts. The Pirates are playing out the season and pretty much going through the motions and have lost seven in a row. The Pirates offense has been nonexistent as they have scored three runs in their last three games. The Pirates will try to pick up a win by sending JT Brubaker to the mound. he has posted a 4-11 record with a 4.95 ERA and 108 strikeouts this season. Against the Cardinals in his career, he has gone 0-3 with a 5.30 ERA and 17 strikeouts.

The Cardinals are 19-7 in the last 26 meetings in Pittsburgh and 38-16 in the last 54 meetings. JT Brubaker has allowed 31 hits and 26 earned runs in his last 29.2 innings. The Pirate's offense has been as unproductive as their pitching has been. Take the Cardinals at this cheap price.

Play on St. Louis.
