Key Stats
St. Louis Cardinals
Kyle Gibson will get the start for the Cards in today’s game. Gibson is 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA and four strikeouts. Brendan Donovan leads the team with a .345 batting average and an OBP of .472. Wilson Contreras has a team-high two home runs, Paul Goldschmidt has tallied six RBIs, and Nolan Arenado has tallied ten hits.
Miami Marlins
The Marlins will send Max Meyer to the mound for today’s game. Meyer has started the season 0-0 with a 3.60 ERA and four strikeouts. Jake Burger leads the team with a .314 batting average, two home runs, ten RBIs, an OBP of .359, and 11 hits.
Game Prediction
Miami is still looking for its first win of the season, but I don’t see it happening today. This team is atrocious, and with Gibson pitching, its offense will struggle again. The Cards have a favorable matchup against Gibson, who has been decent but has not yet faced a lineup like this. This is a lopsided game, and I see no path for the Marlins to get the win. Back the Cardinals to win and sweep the series.
Final Pick
St. Louis Cardinals ML (-148)
