The St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates are opposing each other for what feels like the thirtieth time this month. stlcardsfan4 just wrote a pretty comprehensive preview last week and lo and behold the matchups are exactly the same this series. The only difference is the Cardinals will also face Wil Crowe. Here is what I said about Crowe in my preview from August 10:
Wil Crowe has struggled this season... He has only one pitch with a negative run value and that is his changeup. His 4-seamer has been one of the least valuable in baseball this season with a positive 13 run value.
