The Pirates visit the Cardinals on August 26, 2025 with Mitch Keller vs. Andre Pallante on the mound. The Cards’ walk-off win by Alec Burleson evened the season series at 5-5 as Pittsburgh’s four-game win streak ended and St. Louis snapped a two-game slide. Odds tilt toward STL (-130) with the Mets-like 1.5-run spread and an 8.0 game total. NBC Sports’ model pins a lean to the over 8 and a Pirates +1.5 cover, while the lineup pages spotlight Keller and Pallante as the key pitching duel to monitor for fantasy pivots and DFS stacks.
