ROGERS' 3-GAME SWEEPER PASS > > SCORCHING 102-68 ALL MLB YTD!
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis,
Total: 8.00 | 102.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: Two starters who have struggled for the most part this year collide in the opener of this three-game series on Monday night and I believe that runs will be plentiful. The visitors hand the ball to Joe Musgrove, while the home side counters with Miles Mikolas.

The pitchers: Musgrove (6-7, 4.15 ERA) conceded eight runs off six hits with five walks over three innings in a loss to the Cardinals on May 9th.

Mikolas (5-9, 4.53) has just one win in his last ten starts and he most recently gave up five runs over four innings in a loss to the Giants.

The pick: This is a big series for both teams. St. Louis three games behind the Cubs, while the Pirates sit three games behind the Cards. Pittsburgh was just swept by Chicago, so it certainly won't be lacking for motivation. This one has "slug-fest" written all over it.

8* OVER Bucs/Cards
