St. Louis at Pittsburgh

The St. Louis Cardinals slapped a seven spot on Pittsburgh in the third inning of game 1, but the bats have gone silent as the Cards have scratched across just four runs in the last 20 innings and find themselves down two games to one. Pittsburgh's playoff drought of over two decades is a win away from heading to the NLCS, and they have bested the Cards eight times now in the 11 meetings this season at PNC Park. Charlie Morton has pitched well for Pittsburgh at home, where he has logged a 2.85 ERA on the season. The Cards have struggled in the post-season of late where they are just 1-5 in their last six. The Pirates continue to beat up good teams at PNC, where they are now 20-6 in their last 26 vs. a winning road team. Play on Pittsburgh to close this series out in four games.
