Money Line: -180.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -180.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals are coming off three straight wins, sweeping the Brewers in a home series at Busch Stadium. They host the Pirates this afternoon, and Pittsburgh is coming in as winners of four straight. I like the home team here with a superior starter on the mound.
Carlos Martinez will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's pitched well against the Pirates in 2016. Martinez (7-5, 2.83 ERA) tossed six scoreless innings in a no decision at home versus Kansas City his last time out. He's 1-1 with a 1.54 ERA in two previous meetings versus Pittsburgh this season.
The Bucs hand the ball to Jonathon Niese, who has been pulverized by the Cardinals in his career. Niese (6-6, 5.07 ERA) was torched for five runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in a loss at Seattle his last time out. He's lost four straight, surrendering a whopping 22 runs in those games.
Niese has always had trouble with St. Louis, the Cardinals are hitting .321 over a combined 134 at bats versus the southpaw.
Take STL.
