THE PROFESSOR SWEEPS AGAIN!
(MLB) Miami vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -150.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
The St. Louis Cardinals open up at home by taking on the Miami Marlins. Miami has not won a game this season, losing seven in a row. St. Louis comes in at 3-4 after losing 3-2 at San Diego on Wednesday. Miami has struggled at the plate this season, scoring 24 runs in seven games. The Marlins pitching has been woeful so far, posting a 6.04 ERA and 1.72 WHIP through seven games. The Marlins will look to turn things around with Ryan Weathers taking the mound.  He is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA this season. Weathers has two career appearances against the Cards, one start, giving up two runs, four hits, and a walk, in five innings. The Cards have scored 27 runs in seven games Through their first seven games, they have scored 27 runs but have gotten solid pitching. The St. Louis pitching staff has posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. The Cardinals’ bullpen has gone 1-1 with a save, striking out 31 batters over 23 innings. The Cardinals will counter with Lance Lynn Lynn is 0-0 with an 0.00 ERA this season. Lifetime versus Miami, Lynn is 4-3 with a 5.48 ERA in ten appearances, eight of them starts. Lynn pitched well in his opener and what was more impressive is that it was against the Dodgers. He is 40-20 with a 2.85 ERA lifetime at Busch Stadium. The Cards have an advantage on the mound, in the pen, and slightly at the plate. The Marlins are hungry for a win but will have to wait for another day as I like the Cards in their home opener.

Play on St. Louis. This is a  3% play.
