by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
The Pittsburgh Pirates (31-34) aim for their third win in four games as they duke it out against their NL Central Division rival, St. Louis Cardinals (31-33) on Tuesday at Busch Stadium. Pirates starter Paul Skenes (3-0, 3.00 ERA with 38 strikeouts) will take the mound, staking his undefeated record against Cardinals RHP Mike Mikolas (4-6, 5.32 ERA with 53 strikeouts). The Pirates have a chance to move up as high as second place in the NL Central standings with a victory against the Cardinals. Pittsburgh holds a 15-17 road record, hitting .231/.305/.349 with 136 runs in 32 away games. The Cardinals can also improve their position in the NL Central by winning this crucial series opener against their division rival. St. Louis are 15-14 at home this season, carrying a .237/.311/.376 split with 122 runs in 29 home games. Connor Joe leads the Pirates with a .263 batting average while Bryan Reynolds has driven the most runs (35) for the club this season. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have been relying on Nolan Gorman, who emerges as the team's home run (14) and RBI (32) leader this season.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Prediction: Paul Skenes has strung up a pair of excellent outings against the Detroit Tigers and LA Dodgers ahead of his Tuesday's start against the Cards. At 22 years old, Skenes has exhibited enormous potential as the future ace of the Pirates. He has been undefeated after five starts and has recorded 8 strikeouts or more three times already. DraftKings has listed Skenes at 7.5 strikeouts against the Cardinals, which I believe the Pirates' young hurler can easily surpass, given his vast range of throws and recent success. Our betting prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Bet on Paul Skenes to throw OVER 7.5 strikeouts, +115, at DraftKings.
