Point Spread: -1.50 | 102.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
The St. Louis Cardinals have won the first two games of this series in dominant fashion. They'll have a big edge on the mound here in the series-finale, and I expect a nice and comfortable win for the Cards.
Steven Matz will take the mound for his Cardinals debut since coming over from Toronto as a free agent. Matz was 4-7 with a 3.82 ERA through 150 1/3 innings last year, and he should be able to handle a Pittsburgh team that has scored only two runs through its first two games.
The Pirates turn to 24-year-old Bryse Wilson who went 3-7 with a 5.35 ERA across 16 starts last year. Wilson has yet to finish a season with a sub-4.00 ERA, and the Cards have been swinging hot bats to start the season.
10* play on St. Louis Cardinals -1.5.
