St. Louis has the home-field edge in a game that may be decided by situational hitting rather than sustained offense. Pittsburgh's best path is to get length from the starter and avoid exposing the middle relief innings.
The Cardinals are the preferred moneyline side. Keep the recommendation modest until the starting matchup is confirmed.
