St. Louis Cardinals
Weaver struggled in his last outing against the New York Mets where he could only go 4.2 innings giving up four earned off of just two hits while striking out four and walking six. The six walks is a lot, but I’m not too concerned considering he only gave up six walks in his first four starts.
Baseball is all about ups-and-downs and Weaver is going through a down time after reeling off three solid starts in a row. In his last two starts he’s been only able to total 8.2 innings while giving up 10 earned runs off of 11 hits. He’ll look to correct his 4.85 ERA in this next start and try to bring it down around 3.83 FIP.

St. Louis has been playing winning baseball in the last week winning four of their last six matchups. In that span, their lineup is slashing .253/.328/.438 while they have hit 24 extra-base hits and 35 RBI.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Nick Kingham will be called up from Triple AAA to make his first big league start of his career. A former fourth-round pick has pitched in the minors for the last eight years, but he’ll finally get his shot.
In four starts down in Triple AAA, Kingham has posted a 10.72 K/9, a 2.78 BB/9, and a 0.00 HR/9. With a 1.59 ERA and 2.14 FIP, why not give the 26 year old a shot.

4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Pirates +129 & UNDER 8.5
This may be Kingham’s first major league start, but he’s been pitching in the minors for a while now so he should be excited for the opportunity, he just needs to hit his spots and he can persevere. Weaver has not looked sharp in his last couple starts, but I expect him to rebound and limit the earned runs. Look for the home dogs to edge out the road faves and grab ahold of the top spot in the division.
