The St. Louis Cardinals and Miami Marlins face off on Tuesday in a National League showdown at Marlins Park.
Veteran presence was shown on Tuesday as Adam Wainwright cruised and Albert Pujols scored twice to lead the Cardinals to a 5-1 victory.
Nolan Arenado broke a tie game open in the top of the 9th with a go-ahead 2-run homer and the Cardinals snuck away with a 2-0 victory.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals come into this game with a 5-3 record overall but on Sunday they were defeated by the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals only finished five hits in that game and it wasn’t enough as they were defeated.
The Cardinals are averaging 5.38 runs per game while they are giving up 3.63 runs per game. The offense is ranked 4th best in the league while the runs given up per game is ranked 9th in the MLB.
It’s been all Nolan Arenado at the plate for the Cardinals. The 31-year-old star has recorded at least one base hit in each game and is sporting a dazzling .433 average with 4 HR’s and 12 RBI’s.
Getting the start for the Cardinals will be Adam Wainwright and in his last start against the Brewers he went 4.1 innings giving up eight hits and four runs.
Miami Marlins
On the other side of this matchup is the Miami Marlins who sit with a 4-5 record and on Sunday the offense was strong scoring 11 runs and that led to the eight run victory. In this game it’s going to be important the offense is strong again.
The Marlins are averaging 4.33 runs per game while giving up 4.11 runs per game. This is a strong pitching rotation, but at times the offense has been very inconsistent.
Miami is still waiting for a few hitters to find a groove at the plate. Brian Anderson collected 28 RBIs in 67 games last year and is hitting .286 with zero RBIs so far this season.
On the mound for the Marlins will be Jesus Luzardo and he sits with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 1.80. In his first start of the season against Los Angeles he went five innings giving up two hits and one run.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Miami Marlins MLB Prediction:
Miami is at the point where it’s going to be able to steal a few games from better teams thanks to its terrific young rotation after doing enough to add to the bullpen and offense during the offseason.
The transition from the bullpen to the rotation is always tough for a pitcher like Hicks, and he faces a tall order trying to outduel Lopez on Thursday.
Give me the Marlins to bounce back on Thursday.
