Pittsburgh was picked to finish last in the NL Central, but the Pirates are at .500 and showing that they have some young talent while winning six of their past nine games. These teams split their last eight games of 2020, and the Pirates have won four straight against right-handed starters. St. Louis has lost four in a row as a road underdog, and the Cardinals have lost six of eight following a win. JT Brubaker has allowed only five runs in 22 1/3 innings this season with 23 strikeouts and just five walks. He gave up two runs on five hits in seven innings his last outing against the Twins. Pittsburgh has been getting great pitching while not allowing more than two runs in five of its past six games. Look for more of the same tonight. Play the Pirates.
