The UNDER has been money in the bank in the Cardinals’ game this season with a 40-68 mark versus the total line. We see no reason to buck that trends with tonight’s starters. The Pirates send out Francisco Liriano who has a sparkling earned run average of 2.11 away from home this season and the Cardinals counter with lance Lynn and his 2.15 era at Busch Stadium.
