St. Louis at Miami

The St. Louis Cardinals may have the best record in baseball, but they are not without flaws. Their strong pitching has covered up some strong offensive inefficiencies, and over their last 16 games the Cardinals have scored four or fewer runs in 14 of them. Miami is being carried offensively by Giancarlo Stanton, who continued his torrid HR pace, slugging #26 in last night's game, and his 11th in the month of June. Matt Latos is a lot better than he has shown, and is 5-5 vs. St. Louis in his career, and his last time against them resulted in a complete game shutout. The Cardinals own just a 3-9 record in Garcia's last 12 trips to the mound as a road favorite, and the Marlins have played much better at home at 7-2 in their last nine. Back the home team Marlins.
