Pittsburgh Pirates NLDS

The Pittsburgh Pirates have not made the playoffs in over 21 years and have not won a postseason series since 1979. The Pirates head into the NLDS coming off a wild card game win against the Reds. The team is looking to ride the momentum from the wild card game into the NLDS against a tough match-up with the Cardinals. The Pirates need to get the bats hot early and have the bullpen do what it has been doing all year. If they can do this, they will have a great chance of winning.
