Money Line: -155.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
ASA FREE PLAY ON St Louis Cardinals Money Line -155 over Pittsburgh Pirates, Thursday at 7:05 PM ET - The money line on this one is a little too high for our liking to make it on our card of rated selections.  Also, this price could continue to climb too throughout the day so that is why you are reading about this selection here rather than as a premium pick.  We do look for St Louis to continue their incredible long-term domination in this spot.  Indeed, the Cardinals are 17-2 their last 19 games at Pittsburgh and that includes 6-0 against the Pirates here this season!  The Cards Miles Mikolas has allowed a total of just 1 earned run in his first two starts since returning to the rotation.  The Bucs Mitch Keller matched up with him last week and got the win but Mikolas was the better pitcher that day and he and the Cardinals are likely to get some payback here.  Keller is 2-7 with a 7,82 ERA in his home starts this season and has a 2.08 WHIP!  Yes that means Keller is allowing an average of 2 baserunners per inning in his home starts this season and that quickly leads to trouble for any pitcher.  That is why he has a 2-7 record at home and another loss is likely here. The Pirates long-term struggles hosting the Cards will continue and the Cardinals get it done again.  We’ll back St Louis to get the road win on Thursday night.
