Pittsburgh Pirates
The post All Star break hasn’t been kind to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since July 12, Pittsburgh sports a 4-21 record and has lost five straight.
Once among the NL’s jumbled wild card pack Pittsburgh now trails that race by eleven games – only Miami is further out.
Led by CF Bryan Reynolds’ .334 BA, the Pirates rank 19th offensively (4.67 runs) and 25th in ERA (5.02 runs). Pittsburgh was swept by Milwaukee during the club’s most recent series, losing their Wednesday night finale 8-3.

St. Louis Cardinals
Among MLB’s hottest post All Star break clubs, St. Louis has since crashed losing eight-of-ten. Granted, those setbacks come against the Dodgers, A’s, Cubs and Astros.
Still, five consecutive defeats is a negative however viewed.
Following that rugged stretch, though, the Cardinals gain reprieve vs. a Pittsburgh group they recently swept 4-0 in late July.
