Marlins vs Cardinals Prediction
The Marlins are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Cardinals, having won their last three visits in Saint Louis.
In this Marlins vs Cardinals Prediction, the Cardinals are coming as -140 home favorites. I like the Cardinals in a bounce-back spot today. Pallante has been the far better option on the bump than Gusto, as he has won his last six starts and has given up two runs or less in six of his last seven starts. On the flip side, Gusto has been torched in his two road starts for a 10.80 ERA and the Cardinals have a better offense. Take the Cardinals in this one.
