Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Saturday, May 21, 2022 6:35 PM
Play: Money Line: -132 St. Louis Cardinals
The bats of St. Louis can knock it around to the outside, which can - and I believe will - open up those fielders of Pittsburgh, and make them have to work. Watch the Cardinals the last couple of games and you'll see a guy on the team named Paul Goldschmidt who is hitting .329 and is disruptive.
I don't think Pittsburgh can defend St. Louis - which is why St. Louis wins this game. St. Louis is hitting .249 as a team. The St. Louis defense can handle the Pirates bats, they have dealt with much tougher.
Pitt doesn't have the bats to compete and therefore we'll back the St. Louis Cardinals.
