The Pirates, currently 50-49 and having an average season, face a Cardinals team that sits at 52-47, enjoying an above-average season. This is the first game of the series between these division rivals.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates are coming off a rough outing, having been shut out 6-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies on July 21. Despite being slight underdogs with a closing Moneyline price of +105, the Pirates couldn&#8217;t muster any offense. Mitch Keller, who has a solid 10-5 record with a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">3.46<\/a> ERA, is set to start for Pittsburgh. However, his 4.01 xFIP suggests he might be due for some regression. Keller&#8217;s last start was an abbreviated one, going just 3 innings with 2 earned runs, 3 strikeouts, 4 hits, and 3 walks.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals, on the other hand, are riding high after a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves, where they were underdogs with a +120 Moneyline price. Andre Pallante will take the mound for St. Louis. Pallante has a 4-4 record and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.21<\/a> ERA, but his 3.63 xERA indicates he&#8217;s been somewhat unlucky and could perform better moving forward. Pallante&#8217;s last start was decent, pitching 6 innings with 4 earned runs, 5 strikeouts, 6 hits, and 0 walks.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Pirates have struggled this season, ranking 27th in MLB. Bryan Reynolds has been their standout performer with <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/home-runs\">18<\/a> home runs and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/batting-average\">.288<\/a> batting average. In contrast, the Cardinals have a more balanced offense, ranking 17th overall, with Alec Burleson leading the way with <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/home-runs\">18<\/a> home runs and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/batting-average\">.294<\/a> batting average.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates&#8217; bullpen stands at 12th in the Power Rankings, while the Cardinals&#8217; bullpen is a solid 4th. This could play a crucial role in a game projected to be close, with the Pirates having a slight edge according to the betting markets. The Pirates&#8217; current Moneyline is set at -125, implying a 53% win probability, while THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, gives the Cardinals a slight edge with a 51% win probability.<\/p>\n<p>Given the Pirates&#8217; offensive struggles and Keller&#8217;s potential regression, this looks like a game that could tilt in favor of the Cardinals. However, with both teams closely matched, fans should expect a tightly contested game at PNC Park.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">St. Louis Cardinals Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Andre Pallante &#8211; Over\/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145\/+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Andre Pallante has a mean strikeout projection of 4 bats in this outing, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Nolan Gorman &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110\/-120)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Pittsburgh&#8217;s 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams today creates a favorable matchup for Nolan Gorman, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> This player&#8217;s skill set matches up well with the opposing team&#8217;s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">St. Louis has performed as the #3 offense in the league when it comes to hitting balls between -4\u00b0 and 26\u00b0, the launch angle range that tends to best-produce base hits (44.1% rate this year).<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Balls that are hit either too high or too low can easy to field, but balls hit between -4\u00b0 and 26\u00b0 are far more likely to become base hits.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Pittsburgh Pirates Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Mitch Keller &#8211; Over\/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120\/-155)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Mitch Keller&#8217;s cutter utilization has decreased by 6.3% from last year to this one (24.3% to 18%) .<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Ke&#8217;Bryan Hayes &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-250\/+190)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Ke&#8217;Bryan Hayes has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (73% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup today.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market.
