Schule's MLB "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" *BLOCKBUSTER*
(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis,
09/30/2016 4:15 PM, Score: 0 - 7
Money Line: -184.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -184.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 6* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals are still a game back of San Francisco in the Wild Card race, despite a controversial extra-innings win over Cincinnati last night. Every game from here on out is a "must win", and I like their chances at home to the Pirates tonight.
Carlos Martinez will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's been dealing. Martinez (15-9, 3.15 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on six hits, fanning six in six innings in a loss at Wrigley his last time out. He's 7-3 with a 3.56 ERA in his last 13 starts, and he's pitched well against the Pirates in previous meetings. He's faced Pittsburgh three times this season, allowing five runs on 18 hits, striking out 14 over 18 2/3 innings.
The Pirates hand the ball to rookie right-hander Tyler Glasnow, who is still in search of his first win. The 23 year old was rocked for four runs on seven hits over just three innings in a home loss to Washington his last time out. The Cardinals tagged him for four runs on three hits and a pair of walks in 5 1/3 innings in a loss at St. Louis in July.
The Pirates are short-handed, with Starling Marte and Jordy Mercer sidelined by injury.
Take STL.
