The Cardinals, sitting at 76-75, have had an average season, while the Pirates, with a 71-80 record, are facing a below-average year. <\/p>\n<p>In their last outing on September 17, the Cardinals came out on top with a 3-1 victory against the Pirates. Sonny Gray, the Cardinals\u2019 ace and ranked as the 23rd best starting pitcher in MLB, will take the mound. Despite his strong showing this year, with a 13-9 record and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">3.75<\/a> ERA, Gray&#8217;s peripherals suggest he\u2019s been a bit unlucky. His 2.83 xFIP indicates he could perform even better. Gray&#8217;s ability to miss bats (30.2 K%) lines up well against a Pirates offense that ranks 5th in the league in strikeouts. <\/p>\n<p>The Pirates counter with Jake Woodford, who has struggled with an <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">8.01<\/a> ERA, marking him among the worst starters this season. His last start was a blowout, allowing 7 runs over just 3 innings. Even though his xFIP of 4.97 suggests some bad luck, he\u2019ll need to find his rhythm quickly against a Cardinals offense ranked 20th overall. <\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cardinals will lean on the consistent power of Paul Goldschmidt and the recent hot streak of Jordan Walker, who boasts a .294 average and 2 homers over the past week. Meanwhile, the Pirates&#8217; Bryan Reynolds has been a bright spot, maintaining a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/batting-average\">.280<\/a> average for the season and a .348 clip over the last week. <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Pittsburgh Pirates Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block;
