Captain Shady Lines
A broken compass is right at least twice a day.
Arrr, ye scurvy dogs! The sorry excuse for a team known as the St. Louis Cardinals be sailin' into Pittsburgh on Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023... With a record of 55-72, they be showin' no signs of competency on the field...(SportsBetting3.com) claims ye can bet on this game, but I'd rather walk the plank than waste me doubloons on these landlubbers!
The Cardinals be sportin' a pitiful win percentage of 0.433 overall... Arrr, they be sinkin' faster than a cannonball in the briny deep! Their last 10 games be a laughable 4-6... It be clear as the open sea that they be no match for the Pirates!
As for the Pittsburgh Pirates, they may not be much better with a record of 57-69...(SportsBetting3.com) may be temptin' ye to bet on this game, but I'd advise ye to keep yer gold in yer pocket! Their win percentage be only slightly better at 0.452 overall... And their last 10 games be a mediocre 5-5... This be a battle of the scallywags, me hearties!
If ye still be tempted to bet on this game, I implore ye to review the odds below... But mark me words, this be a clash of the bottom feeders, and it be wise to steer clear of this shipwreck!
