Marlins vs Cardinals Prediction
The Cardinals are the better team, but I’m not running to the window to back McGreevy and his 4.41 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. The Marlins played well at home in their last time out, and Cabrera is somebody who is finding his footing in MLB. Cabrera has a 3.34 ERA and 1.16 WHIP on the season, and he has a 2.86 ERA and .205 allowed batting average in 63 home innings. Oddsmakers agree. The Marlins should win this game as they look to rebound from a rough road trip.
