Tonight's Cardinals vs. Pirates predictions and MLB picks expect the home side to hold the pitching advantage when Mitch Keller faces Adrian Pallante.
Adrian Pallante twirled a gem against the Pirates earlier this month, but that doesn't mean lightning will strike twice for the Cardinals righty. Pittsburgh's bats have turned a corner of late and Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds will cause him fits.
The Pirates have been solid on both sides of the field since before the All-Star break, ranking sixth in scoring, and putting up just a tick under 5.5 runs per game over the last 15 days. That’s a major improvement from a unit that ranks 24th in runs scored this season. For one, that outing was before Pittsburgh's offense found a new gear. And Pallante likely won't be able to exploit one of the Pirates' key weaknesses. Pittsburgh has the sixth-highest strikeout rate in MLB but Pallante doesn't miss bats. He has 41 strikeouts in 51 1/3 innings for a paltry 18.8% strikeout rate. has been especially potent against right-handers. Eleven of his 15 home runs have come against righties and he's hit .284 against them on the season.
