Pirates take on St. Louis with Mulder on hill
The Cardinals can build on their win against the Pirates on Wednesday when they send 2-0 Mark Mulder against the Pirates at Busch Stadium.
The Pirates sit at the bottom of the National League Central standings with a lame 5-17 mark, but hand the ball to Zach Duke to try to get another notch in the win column. Duke brings a 1-2 record and a 4.50 ERA into this game.
Sporting a 5-17 overall record and a 3-15 mark within the division, the Pirates aim to knock the Cardinals (10-7 in the division) for a loss.
The Cardinals are favored, opening as 175 chalk, with an opening total of 8.5. They are 13-7 this season and 10-10-0 OU. The Pirates are 5-17 and are 12-9-1 OU.
Jim Tracy's team was busy last game losing to the Cardinals 6-3 as underdogs. The 9 runs sent that game under the total of 10.
Pittsburgh's hitting hasn't been much to write home about, as they are averaging just 8.3 hits per game, ranked #14 in the National League.
PIT: Z. Duke (1-2, 4.50)
STL: M. Mulder (2-0, 3.86)
