Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals Betting Trends
Updated:May 21, 2026 2:12 AM EDT
The upcoming MLB game today features the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO. Scheduled for 1:15 PM ET and broadcast on card, this matchup offers significant betting trends to consider. Pittsburgh's RHP Braxton Ashcraft, with a 2.25 ERA and strong strikeout rate, contrasts with St. Louis' RHP Dustin May, who has struggled with a 15.955 ERA. The Pirates hold a 25-24 record overall, while the Cardinals are 28-20, with the latter boasting a superior 30-18 ATS record.
Betting stats show the Pirates favored at -123 moneyline odds versus the Cardinals' +112, with a total points line at 8. The Cardinals' home field advantage and higher fielding percentage (.987 vs .986) may influence game pace, but Ashcraft's pitching against right-handed batters and better WHIP (1.0) provide Pittsburgh an edge. Injuries include Pirates' OF Ryan O'Hearn on the 10-Day IL, potentially impacting their lineup depth.
In their most recent game on May 20, 2026, where Pittsburgh defeated St. Louis 7-0, Pittsburgh dominated with a shutout win. These game insights suggest careful evaluation of starting pitchers and current form for informed betting decisions.
