The Pirates managed a commanding 12-1 win, while the Cardinals secured a 7-0 shutout, reflecting their strong offensive capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>In the National League Central matchup, the Pirates sit at 35-50 this season, struggling with one of the worst offenses in MLB, ranking 28th overall. Their pitching has been a concern as well; Andrew Heaney, projected to start, is currently ranked as the 268th best starting pitcher, a position that highlights his struggles this season. With a 3-7 record and an average ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.48<\/a>, Heaney\u2019s recent performance was particularly poor, allowing 7 earned runs in just 4 innings in his last outing.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, the Cardinals boast a much better record at 47-38 and rank 11th in offense, led by a well-rounded lineup that includes a strong batting average, ranking 7th in MLB. Erick Fedde, their projected starter, has also had his challenges, holding a below-average ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.11<\/a>. However, his expected fielding independent pitching (xFIP) of 5.07 suggests he may have been fortunate this season, and he will need to step up against a high-strikeout Pirates offense.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Pittsburgh\u2019s recent win, the projections suggest they might struggle against St. Louis. With the Game Total set at 8.5 runs and both teams having a moneyline of -110, this game promises to be tightly contested, but the Cardinals appear to have the upper hand based on their current form and overall performance this season.<\/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>Erick Fedde &#8211; Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Erick Fedde&#8217;s higher utilization percentage of his fastball this year (37.5 compared to 31.1% last season) is not ideal since they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.<\/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 (-185\/+140)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Nolan Gorman is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the weak outfield defense of Pittsburgh (#2-worst of all teams on the slate today).<\/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>Nolan Arenado &#8211; Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Nolan Arenado pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (42.4% \u2014 100th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game&#8217;s 11th-deepest LF fences in today&#8217;s game.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> This player&#8217;s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he&#8217;s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.<\/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>Andrew Heaney &#8211; Over\/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-135\/+105)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Andrew Heaney&#8217;s 89.5-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a notable 2-mph drop off from last season&#8217;s 91.5-mph mark.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Joey Bart &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-155\/+120)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Joey Bart is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 96% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.<\/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.
