(MLB) St. Louis vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -136.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
The Cardinals now have Matthew Liberatore making his MLB debut instead of the original projected starter Mikolas. Liberatore was a first-round pick and has sported a stellar 3.43 ERA in his Minor League career and the Pirates players haven't never seen or faced him. Furthermore, the Pirates' weak lineup is slumping in a big way at the plate, recording three or fewer runs in eight consecutive games including three in Friday’s loss. Lastly the Pirates starter Quintana has struggled with a 4.39 career ERA against the Cardinals.
