St. Louis at Pittsburgh

St. Louis is in the role of road favorite, though they're on a 4-5 run and this is their eighth road game over the last 10 contests. And three of those wins were by 2-1 scores. Starter Jack Flaherty (4.81 ERA) walks too many batters (34 in 58 innings) allowing 89 base runners. He's allowed 52 baserunners in 33 innings on the road and the Cardinals are 18-25 against righty starters. Pittsburgh had a day off after taking the last two games at San Francisco as underdogs, winning 2-1 and 9-4. Roansy Contreras helped beat St. Louis, 6-3, earlier in the season as a +136 dog. His teams are 9-1 when he starts versus divisional opponents and the Pirates are 11-3 after playing four or more straight road games. The wagering value is on the home team to win the game or lose by one run. Play Pittsburgh on the Run-Line as a Max Play.
