The MLB National League schedule will bring the third game of the series between Saint Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates next Thursday, June 13th at 12:15 pm Central Time, match in which there isn’t any favorite to win according to the bookmakers’ odds, as both teams weren’t able to display a proper offensive performance during the first two games.
For Saint Louis Cardinals the offensive issues are more concerning as they weren’t able to carry on with the streak of 3 matches in a row scoring 5 or more runs that they achieved during the series against Colorado Rockies. However, the positive side from this team is their defensive, as they have been able to accumulate 3 matches in a row without conceding more than 2 runs per game.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh Pirates also lost the offensive momentum that they built during the last 2 games of their series against Los Angeles Dodgers and the whole series against Minnesota Twins, so the main challenge for them will be trying to break the 2 runs-line that they haven’t surpassed during their first 2 games of the series against the Cardinals.
