St. Louis at Miami

This is the end of a seven-game road trip for St. Louis after getting bombed yesterday, 11-0, as a favorite. The Cardinals are 3-7 after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. Miami plays its 10th consecutive home contest with an offense ranked seventh in on-base percentage. Starter Andrew Cashner was acquired in a seven-player trade on Friday, making his Miami debut here. Cashner enhanced his trade value by going 1-0 with a 2.55 ERA in his last three starts with San Diego, which included a strong effort versus St. Louis. He is 2-1 with a 1.74 ERA in his career against the Cardinals. The Marlins are 12-4 against the NL Central, plus 8-3 at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600, so grab the home team. Play Miami.
