Pirates Discussion: Final Stretch

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates head into the final week of their season with a home and home series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals already have the NL Central locked up and can’t catch the other division leaders for better seeding in the playoff.

On the opposite end of the spectrum the Pirates are competing for the best draft lottery odds. As of now they’re in the Top 3 who each have similar odds.

Pirates @ Cardinals

Time: 8:15 PM EST

Pirates Starter: Johan Oviedo (4-2, 3.13)

Cardinals Starter: Jack Flaherty (1-1, 4.97)

Oviedo Notes: Johan Oviedo will be making his seventh start of the season, sixth for the Pirates, against his former organization. In his previous start Oviedo went seven shutout innings against the Cincinnati Reds with seven strikeouts.
