Could the Cardinals Cash In on a Surprising Plus-Money Upset Against the Pirates?
The NL Central’s chess match continues tonight at 6:40 ET as the revitalized Cardinals take on the Pirates — but here’s a question that’s been bouncing around my mind: can the Pirates truly rebuild fast enough around that prodigious talent, Paul Skenes, before he decides to set sail for greener pastures? The Cardinals have the momentum, cruising eight games above .500 with an offense that’s clicking at a .254 average and churning out nearly five runs each contest, while their pitching arms have been steadier than ever. Meanwhile, the Pirates, despite their struggles and a sub-.500 record, have snatched some hope with a solid home winning streak and a commanding win in the opener. As Andre Pallante tries to keep the luck—or lack thereof—off the Cardinals’ side and Skenes aims to prove the hype is real, tonight’s showdown is less about stats and more about who’s got the grit to pull the division into sharper focus.
