The Cardinals are in the midst of Pittsburgh Month with a three-game series here this weekend. This past week, they swept the Pirates three games in Pittsburgh and they have four games with the Bucs next weekend in Pittsburgh.
The Cardinals are 6-0 against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. But, alas, they are only 3-4 against them in St. Louis and that could prove costly to playoff hopes.
For the eighth consecutive season and 19th out of 22, the Cardinals surely will win the season series from the Pirates. They have to win only one of the remaining six games to do that.
