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.
