This is an 8* on UNDER

It seems like you can always count on the Pirates not to score many runs. Over the course of a seven-game losing streak, they have put up 12 runs total. Twice they’ve been shutout. One of those two times was yesterday, 4-0 by the Cardinals. Pittsburgh was already the lowest scoring team in baseball prior to the losing streak. Now the gap between them and the second lowest scoring team has gotten even more severe. Texas and the Mets are the only teams that haven't put up at least 50 more runs than the Pirates this year. So when playing the total with this team, Under has to be your natural reaction. They have just three hits in this series with the Cardinals! Wade LeBlanc, a lefty that has put up good numbers of late for St. Louis, is who they will face today. LeBlanc has a 2.94 ERA his last seven starts and is coming off a hard-luck no decision against Atlanta. He allowed only two runs and three hits in six innings, a game the Cardinals ultimately lost 8-4. The Cardinals aren’t all that high scoring either. They are the NL’s third lowest scoring team. It’s been a rough ride of late for the Pirates JT Brubaker. However, he did pitch very well in his last home start, giving up just one run and three hits. Throw in the fact this is a day game and you’ve gotta go Under. Play on UNDER
