10* PIRATES RUNLINE (ASSASSIN)
In a game that I believe will be decided late, or even in extras, I'm going to suggest laying the small price for the extra 1.5 runs in your back pocket. Zach Thompson (0-0, 2.25 ERA) gets the nod for the Cardinals. This is his first start in the big leagues and second appearance. The Pirates won't be lacking for motivation here on the heels of a season-worst 6-game slide. Mitch Keller (2-5, 5.26) has turned the corner as well for the Pirates and is sneaking in under the radar, as note that he's posted a 2.65 ERA and struck out 18 over his last 17 innings of work, going 2-0 over his last 4 trips to the hill. He's also a very respectable 2-1 with a 4.26 ERA in 5 career starts vs. St. Louis. While the outright is possible, the value here for the hungry Pirates on the runline option is just too good to turn down!
