Miami at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals have been the steadiest NL team this season. They have great balance regarding their offense and starting pitching. They are the only NL team to have not suffered a losing streak of more than three games. Miami has played much better of late, but this is a bigger challenge than they have faced in recent games. Miami has not stacked up very well in doing battle against a winning team where they are a woeful 32-70 in their last 102, and sit at an unimpressive 14-38 in their last 52 as a road dog. The Cardinals take care of business when they should at 42-17 in their last 59 vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, including 4-0 behind Kelly. The Marlins are just 4-12 in the last 16 meetings, and 1-4 in the last five here. Play on St. Louis.
