Off a gut-wrenching walk-off loss to the Red Sox, the Cardinals will take a short trip to Pittsburgh. Tied into Thursday’s line is the fact that the Pirates are returning home from a seven-game road trip. Even though Adam Wainwright hasn’t lost since June 17, grab the home edge with the Pirates.

Adam Wainwright has fanned one batter and walked eight over his last two starts entering Thursday's visit to Pittsburgh. Jameson Taillon has bounced back from two horrific starts with two solid ones in which he allowed two earned runs in each. The Pirates are glad to be back home where they've won five of their last six. Lay it.
