AAA'S CERTIFIED BEATDOWN (MLB) >> *SCORCHING* 17-4 L5 DAYS!

Money Line: -165.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* on ST LOUIS

Pittsburgh is very bad and they should be putting up very little resistance this final week of the regular season. While it’s true that the Pirates did win the series opener with the Cardinals on Thursday, they’ve since dropped three in row including a doubleheader on Friday and a 5-4 game yesterday. That leaves the Bucs at 15-37 on the season and their -87 run differential is baseball’s worst. (So is the won-loss record). St. Louis is trying to reserve a spot in the playoffs. Finishing second in the NL Central guarantees them a spot and that’s where they are now after going 3-0 the L2 days. We’ll look past Jack Flaherty’s recent poor numbers here given the opponent. He’s 5-1 vs Pittsburgh with a 1.94 ERA and 47 strikeouts in his career. The Cards are 19-9 vs. Pittsburgh since the start of last season. Pirates starter Musgrove is winless in six tries and has a 5.74 ERA. The team has scored five or less runs in all six of Musgrove’s starts. Musgrove is 1-7 with a 6.75 ERA in eight starts against the Cardinals. Play on ST LOUIS
