This series will mark the end of the regular season. St. Louis (92-67) has already clinched the division. Their terrific home (53-28) record has made all the difference for them this season. Their away (39-39) record is something they would like to improve on, though. However, a few more wins before the postseason would be welcome. St. Louis will look to dominate this away series against the Pirates.
Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has had a terrible season (60-99). They are fighting for the fourth spot against the Cincinnati Reds. Both teams have exchanged places over the weeks, so it's difficult to say who will come last at the end of the season.
With a win in Game 3, the Pirates have given their fans something to cheer about. The win against the division winners should help boost their confidence. They will look to win more games to end their series on a high.
This series will mark the end of the seaosn for the Pirates. Meanwhile the Cardinals are going to the playoffs, so they have a long way to go.
