St. Louis at Pittsburgh

St. Louis plays its seventh consecutive road game here, and the Cards have lost five of its last seven away from home against a righty starter. The Cardinals are 3-3 on this road trip and are favored despite struggling Steven Matz (6.03 ERA) on the mound, losing two of his last three starts. Pittsburgh is on a 3-4 run, topping Cincinnati and Chicago as underdogs. This is the third straight home contest for the Pirates, making this an excellent situational spot for the home dog. Play Pittsburgh.
