As usual, Albert Pujols is leading the Cardinals in most every offensive statistical category. Add to that the fact that Pujols is quite a good defensive first baseman, and you have a lethal combination of hitting and fielding. This is what makes Pujols such a hot commodity in Major League Baseball. He is such a well-rounded player that it is difficult to imagine him struggling. Matt Holliday has also been a nice addition ever since coming over at the trade deadline last summer. His 21 HR and 73 RBI has bettors putting a lot of their public money on the Cardinals this year and with good reason. Colby Rasmus has also shown some improvement at the dish throughout the course of this season, and it looks as though Rasmus will be roaming the outfield in St. Louis for years to come. Look for the St. Louis Cardinals to get the free bet victory on Tuesday night.

Except for Ross Ohlendorf, the pitching staff for the Pirates has really been a huge part of their problem throughout the entire season. Granted, they are not hitting the ball exceptionally well either, but their starting pitching has really been giving up quite a few runs this year that the team just can't recover from. Paul Maholm, the ace of the staff, has an ERA bordering on 5.00 right now, which is not very good considering that Maholm was expected to have a breakout year in the rotation for the Pirates. The bullpen also has not been much better, as they have had difficulties keeping leads the few times they have gotten them from the starters. Sean Gallagher and Joel Hanrahan have both been riding the fine line between complete ineffectiveness and contributing something to the team. The Pirates just don't have the firepower on the mound to compete with the Cardinals, which is why St. Louis is the free wager selection for all bettors.

Any free bets that you are receiving need to be put on this game for Tuesday, August 24th. There is just too much value here to pass up if you are a sports bettor. The St. Louis Cardinals have proved time and again that they are capable of winning any game that they play, and against a team like the Pirates, they shouldn't have any problem coming out of PNC Park with a victory. All free bets should go with the pick of betsfreebets.com - the St. Louis Cardinals beating out the Pittsburgh Pirates.
