Pittsburgh Pirates

I absolutely love this spot and price with Pittsburgh in Tuesday's series opener against the Cardinals. This is do or die time for the Pirates, who are running out of time to get back in the playoff race. As for St Louis, they are coming off a 5-1 road trip, where they swept the Dodgers and took 2 of 3 at Colorado.

As good as the Cardinals are playing, I think we could see them come out a bit flat here after spending a week on the West Coast. While they did have yesterday off, rest has actually been a negative for this team, as they are just 8-15 in their last 23 home games after a day off. They are also just 1-5 in their last 6 at home against a team with a losing record.

Ivan Nova will be on the mound for the Pirates and he's been really throwing it well of late. In his last 3 starts, Nova has a 2.41 ERA and 0.857 WHIP. I look for another strong out ing here and a Pirates win. Take Pittsburgh!
