Miami Marlins vs. St. Louis Cardinals MLB Prediction:
The Marlins are struggling on the road as of late, losing 8 out of their last 10 road clashes. The Cardinals have won 10 out of their last 14 home games.
However, Alcantara is not included in that statement, as he is arguably the best starter in the majors. He continues to shut opponents down and go deep into his starts, setting Miami to win in almost every game he pitches.
Pallante is off to a solid start to his big-league career, but he is not on Alcantara’s level.
Give me the Marlins to bounce back.
