Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals, 8:15PM ET
You may have looked at this game and chalked it up to a St. Louis victory. But Adam Wainwright really struggled in April, going 0-3 with a 7.32 ERA. Granted, he did pitch well in his last outing but he didn’t pick up the victory. Compounding the issue is that the Cardinals just aren’t hitting well at the dish. They’re constantly leaving runners in scoring position and lost Sunday on a failed double steal attempt (suggesting maybe that manager Mike Matheny is pressing trying to make something happen). The Cards are 0-4 in Wainwright’s last four starts and 1-5 in his last six home starts.
