After two tightly-contested, low-scoring games, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals head into the final game of their three-game showdown on Wednesday looking to clinch the series. The Pirates have won seven of their last 10 games to keep them in the hunt for at least a wild card slot in the MLB postseason. Sitting in third in the NL Central with a 51-50 record, the Pirates trail the 53-48 St. Louis Cardinals by two games and the 58-43 Milwaukee Brewers by seven games. Pittsburgh has been flexing its formidable pitching staff all season long, sustaining an impeccable 3.84 ERA even beyond the All-Star break. On the other hand, the Cardinals are slowly closing the gap between them and the Brewers. St. Louis have won half of their last 10 games to cut the Brewers’ lead down to five games. During this stretch, the Cardinals have batted .263 with 4.6 runs per game.
