(MLB) Miami vs. St. Louis,
Total: 7.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Total: 7.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
These two teams have a strong history of scoring runs against each other. The Over has cashed in 13 of their last 16 meetings for 81 percent.
I see that trend continuing when the Cardinals host the Marlins today.
The Marlins have surrendered six or more runs in five of their last six games. Miami starter Jose Urena has a 4.41 ERA and a career 8.16 ERA against the Cardinals in three starts. The Marlins have a terrible bullpen.
The Cardinals' offense has gotten more deadly with Marcell Ozuna shaking off a slow start to bat .457 during his last 12 games. The Cardinals also get catcher Yadier Molina back from injury. Molina is an elite defensive catcher, but he's also a huge offensive upgrade for the Cardinals at the position.
Carlos Martinez will be making his first start in four weeks. So he figures to be rusty. Martinez also has a 5.04 lifetime ERA versus the Marlins in four starts.
