Schule's MLB AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER - **EARLY START**
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Pittsburgh, 05/20/2022 6:35 PM, Score: 5 - 3
Money Line: -140.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on STL.

The Cardinals are four games out of first place in the NL Central, and they will look to narrow that gap as they begin a new series in Pittsburgh Friday.

Adam Wainwright (4-3, 3.15 ERA) has absolutely owned the Pirates the last two seasons. He's faced them five times, allowing one run over 36 innings.

The Pirates hand the ball to Zack Thompson, who is 2-3 with a 5.47 ERA in seven starts. He might not be able to bank on much run support from a Pirates team that ranks 29th in runs scored.

The Cardinals are 23-5 in the last 28 meetings in Pittsburgh.
