Miami Marlins
The Marlins in the last 8 games have scored 39 runs. That is just under 5 runs per game which is above their season average off 4.2 runs per game.
It looks as if Giancarlo Stanton has found his stroke as of late which makes the Marlins extremely dangerous.
They hit well for average and that is with Stanton’s pour batting average, they hit .274 as a team and rank 2nd in the league.
Conley has pitched well for the Marlins as well and in his last 5 outings, he’s had two shutouts and allowed 2 or less in 4 of those 5 outings.
The Marlins as a whole allow just 4.2 runs per game which is 8th best in the league.
They are now 7 games over .500 and look to continue climbing the standings, they look capable and things are going well for them right now.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals score the second most runs in the league, averaging a whopping 5.2 runs per game.
They do it with a decent team batting average of .262 and with a lot of power. Their SLG% is .448 and they have 121 home runs which is 4th and 6th best in the league respectively.
In their last 6 games, they’ve scored 32 runs but won only half of those games.
Michael Wacha has pitched well and consistently since May 29th. Much of his bad ERA is due to a poor start.
Since May 29th, he’s given up no more than 4 runs in any start and has given up 4 just twice. The 6 other outings he’s given up 3 or less.
He’s typically averaging giving up about 3 runs over 6.2 innings.

Free Miami Marlins vs. St. Louis Cardinals MLB Prediction:
Offensively, both teams are hitting well at the moment and putting up a bunch of runs, so I’d say they are even in this regard.
The pitching matchup favors the Marlins and they are also just finding ways to win a lot more often than the Cardinals.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Marlins ML
This game could end up high scoring because both teams are so dangerous offensively but averages are important to consider in the long run.
The line will probably be around 9 or 9.5 so I would go with under in hopes neither team doesn’t explode.
