Garrett hasn’t been great in limited reps, but the Marlins are coming off a solid week and the offense has picked up. The Cardinals are free falling and they’re now on a quick turnaround after playing last night. Adam Wainwright has also been a shell of himself for the most part the last few years. The Cards aren’t in a position to be a favorite right now. The value is with the fish and the plus money. I’ll take it.
