Pittsburgh at St. Louis

Pittsburgh is 4-7 on the road and can't hit, 20th in baseball in runs scored, 24th in on base percentage, and 25th in slugging. Pittsburgh got the win yesterday, but the Pirates are 0-5 in their last five games following a win and 1-6 in their last seven games vs. a right-handed starter. And this is no ordinary righty, but Adam Wainwright (4-1, 1.46 ERA), one of the best pitchers in the game. The Cardinals are 43-17 in their last 60 home games and 51-17 at home against a team with a losing record. The Cardinals are also 39-19 in Wainwright's last 58 starts. Pittsburgh is 2-3 in Edinson Volquez's starts, a guy with a history of imploding and walking too many batters. The Pirates are 2-7 in the last nine meetings in St. Louis and 4-0 in Wainwright's last four home starts against these Pirates. Play St. Louis.
