St. Louis Cardinals
After coming off Tommy John Surgery and starting his season late, Adam Wainwright pitched well enough in 2018 to get a contract offer from the team he has pitched for since his rookie season in 2015.

It’s a modest deal but a deal nonetheless in a season where Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel remained unsigned. The Cardinals will pay Wainwright $2 million to keep him around the club and, hopefully, get 100 innings out of him.
He pitched to an 88 ERA+ in 50 innings for St. Louis last season but went 22 innings in four September starts. With a more productive offseason under his belt, Wainwright could be a valuable member of the Cardinals’ pitching staff.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates were rained out on Saturday. Trevor Williams will start on Sunday in the finale at Cincinnati and Chris Archer begins his first full season with the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Archer sure looks good in the black and yellow. I’m not speaking figuratively. The uniform suits him. He made 10 starts for Pittsburgh last season after coming over in the trade for Austin Meadows, who is already leading-off for Tampa Bay this season.
Those 10 starts were awfully similar to the 17 he made for Tampa Bay earlier in the same season: average. He finished the year with a 94 ERA+ (96 with Tampa and 91 with Pittsburgh) and peripherals that are becoming his norm.
From 2013 to 2015, Archer posted ERA+ marks of 120, 112, and 121. He went 100, 101 in the two seasons that followed and hasn’t been in the triple-digits since.

Free St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction: St. Louis on the road.
The Cardinals will be underdogs and they will have to win this game by hitting Archer because Wainwright isn’t going to go seven scoreless. I like his chances to go four or five solid frames against the Pirates’ lineup sans Gregory Polanco, though.
