Cards' righty Miles Mikolas (0-1, 1.00 ERA) will be making his second start after being sidelined since late May due to injury. He owns a 2.85 ERA in 14 games (12 starts) against the Pirates.

Pittsburgh righty Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.35 ERA) has a 0.56 ERA in three career starts against the Cardinals, but I think they'll get to him tonight. The Cardinals are still in the playoff race, but they can not afford to drop many games. I expect a focused St. Louis team to get it done.

8* play on St. Louis Cardinals.
