Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

[Shame About Ray]

As well as the Cards have been playing this year, they have a losing record against one of the worst teams in the majors, the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cardinals are 2 and 3 on this young sports wagering season against Pittsburgh. They definitely have a chance to turn that around on Friday night in the first game of a three-game online betting series against the Pirates. St. Louis sends pitcher Todd Wellemeyer to the mound. Wellemeyer has been a good starter this season. His ERA is 3.36 and he has a 5 and 1 record. That makes him a live online wager play every time he takes the mound.

The Pittsburgh Pirates will counter with Zach Duke. Duke hasn’t embarrassed himself - - that’s hard to do when you play for the Pirates - - with an ERA of 4.55 and a record of 3 and 2. He’s also only allowed two home-runs in 59.1 innings pitched. That’s a good sign for MLB betting fans.
