Prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals

I might try the Pirates. That’s partly because of Pallante’s last few starts. In those two games, he allowed eight earned runs on 11 hits and 10 walks in 10.0 innings. Pallante did, however, end August with a decent start (5.2 innings; two earned runs) against the Padres.

Aside from Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s three hits, two runs and an RBI, the Pirates had a rather mediocre offensive performance on Sunday. Pittsburgh also used some bullpen arms. Still, with Skenes (2-0 and one earned run in 11.0 innings in his last two) on the mound, Pittsburgh should have a good chance of winning on Monday.
