This is a 10* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals tied this series at 1-1 with a 4-1 victory over the Pirates on Saturday, and I like the home team in the rubber match on Sunday.
John Lackey will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's been at his best at Busch Stadium in 2015. Lackey (11-8, 2.87 ERA) allowed just two runs (one unearned) on four hits over six innings in a home win over Washington his last time out. He's owned the Pirates, going 1-0 with a 1.7 ERA in his last three starts against them.
The Bucs hand the ball to Gerrit Cole, who hasn't had nearly as much success against the Cardinals. Cole (15-8, 2.64 ERA) was torched for five runs on eight hits over just four innings in a loss to the Brewers his last time out. He surrendered four runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings losing his only previous visit to St. Louis this season, He was 0-2 with a 4.05 ERA at Busch Stadium over the last three seasons.
The Cardinals are 38-17 in their last 55 home games versus Pittsburgh, and the Pirates come in batting just .233 with 54 strikeouts while losing five of it's last six.
Take STL.
