You want the warm air to reach the pipes to keep them from freezing. The insulation should hang UNDER the joists like a blanket held up by the belly material.

Unfortunately, that's how they insulate these floors from the factory. If you can press some R-11 un-faced insulation in there under the joists parallel with the pipes, then I would take the opportunity and apply some between each joist as well. About half of my house now has pipe insulation and batt insulation between the joists. Our feet thank us in the winter.
