At 7:05 PM tonight the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals start a three game series. This will be the first series of the season between the National League Central Division rivals. And it appears the Pirates are getting the Cardinals at the right time.
St. Louis currently has the worst record in the National League at 3-9. They are also coming off a sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees over the weekend. Additionally, the Pirates are coming off a sweep of the Chicago Cubs and are playing very confident baseball right now.
