Short price here to get promising rookie pitcher Jared Jones against Miles Mikolas.

Jones has been brilliant at home for the Pirates going 3-2 with a 2.20 ERA at PNC Park. I trust Jones to tame the Cardinals while the Pirates do damage against Mikolas, who is in terrible form.

Mikolas has gone against the Reds and Giants in his last two starts. He's allowed 13 earned runs on 18 hits and three walks spanning 10 1/3 innings during these past two starts. Mikolas has a losing record and a fat 5.32 ERA.
