St. Louis at Pittsburgh

April 29, 2026

6:40 PM Eastern

The Pittsburgh Pirates are in a tough division. The Pirates are a decent 16-14, but in the NL Central, that is good for last place. If they were in the AL, that record would have them tied or ahead of two of the three divisions. The Cardinals are 16-13, which is good for third place. This series is a big one for Pittsburgh, and there's a notable difference between these teams. The Cards are three games over .500 but have a -9 run differential. The Pirates are two games over .500 with a +18 run differential. Take the more productive team with home-field advantage. Play Pittsburgh.
