The Cardinals should try their best against the Pittsburgh Pirates - A Series Preview

I’m going to take a wild guess and say that we probably would not have predicted that, when the Pirates and Cardinals first met this year, the Pirates would be in 2nd place and the Cardinals would be in 4th place. But if you took a bit more credence in strength of schedule, maybe it should have been more expected. The Pirates have faced the Reds, Red Sox, White Sox, and Astros. That’s one really bad team, two below average teams, and the Astros. It might be surprising that they lost the series to the Reds of all teams, while sweeping the Red Sox.
