The Miami Marlins have some impressive bats at the top of the lineup, but the pitching as negated it, and they continue to struggle. They have yet to overcome the untimely death of ace Jose Fernandez, and have allowed just shy of five runs per game on the season. The Cardinals can match their bats, but on the mound is an under-the-radar Mike Leake. Leake has made 16 starts, and in those starts, opponents have managed a total of a skimpy 3.31 runs per game. When it comes to the Marlins, Leake has owned them with a career 6-1 mark, and the Marlins average a woeful 2.14 runs per contest. The value is with the home team, so play on St. Louis.
