A pair of below-average offensive teams with good arms on the mound meet for this one. Pittsburgh is #18 in runs scored, and #15 in on-base percentage and slugging. At least starter Chris Archer is throwing well, with 45 strikeouts his last six starts (31 innings). He shut out St. Louis in five innings in his lone start this season against them. The St. Louis offense is #22 in runs scored, #21 in on-base percentage, and #26 in slugging. The Cardinals are 34-15-2 UNDER the total versus a right-handed starter, including 20-6-1 UNDER at home. Starter Daniel Ponce de Leon (1.99 ERA) has been sharp and the UNDER is 21-8 in the last 29 meetings in St. Louis. Play the UNDER.
