Pirates +116
Pirates are 4-2 against Cardinals this season. Pirates play very well at home. Cardinals are playing without their best two outfielders in Ankiel and Ludwick and teams are going after Pujols who is not protected anymore. Karstens never faced Cardinals before which is a plus especially with the triple A outfield lineup of Cardinals. If the Pirates take the lead the bullpen is pretty strong and can hold up the cold Cardinal bats.
