St. Louis at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates for the first time in well over a decade are in the thick of things in the NL Central. It has brought some life to the city as they are filling the park for the first time in recent memory. Once a team blown out with a high degree of regularity, the Pirates are over .500 at home and getting better as they are 16-10 here in their last 26. The Cards aren't exactly playing their best baseball of the season right now as they have gone just 14-21 in their last 35 games. Jaime Garcia has pitchef well for the Cards, but over his last seven starts with a total set at 7-8.5, the Cards are just 1-6. Te Pirates have come together to take losses personally and are now 8-1 in their last nine following a loss. I like the Pirates in this one on the runline.
