St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Picks and Predictions

Anticipate the Cardinals to use a variety of weapons. They will turn to their relievers, allowing their bullpen to pitch the entire contest. At 3.67 runs per game, St. Louis' bullpen is currently allowing 11th-fewest runs per game.

The Cardinals as a team are giving up the ninth-fewest runs per game (3.97). They have gone 1-4 in their last 5 games against the spread and have a 39-41 record in away games against the spread. Three of St. Louis's last five games saw OVERs for the total.

The Pirates, meanwhile, won the first two games of the series, showcasing their ability to play with more seasoned squads. To keep the game within the run line spread (+1.5), the Pirates will score enough runs and Oviedo will perform at a high level. But the Cardinals are highly likely to win tonight.
