Tonight's ESPN game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals is a critical August contest with a terrific pitching matchup between Gerrit Cole and Michael Wacha. The Pirates are six games behind the Cardinals and if they want to avoid the wild-card game for a third straight season beating the Cardinals head-to-head is paramount. While Cole's rise to stardom was certainly predicted ever since he was the first overall pick in the 2011, Wacha's rise was less of a sure thing, even though he was also a first-round pick in 2012.
