Marlins vs Cardinals Betting Pick
This game will be played at Busch Stadium at 7:45 PM ET on Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
Why Bet The Cardinals:
✅ Braxton Garrett cannot be trusted and will have a tall task to slow down the Cardinals’ lineup. The 24-year-old left-hander is 1-2 with a 4.08 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in four starts (17.2 innings pitched) in 2022. His slider has a plus-3 run value and a .410 slugging percentage, and Garrett throws it 36.4 percent of the time.
✅ The Cardinals’ lineup is way more dangerous when hitting the lefties. St. Louis holds a 104 OPS+ against the right-handed pitchers and a 114 OPS+ against the left-handed pitchers. The Cardinals’ right-handed batters are slashing .267/.335/441 versus the southpaws in 2022.

✅ The Cards have dominated the Marlins over the last few years. Last year, St. Louis swept a six-game regular-season series against Miami. The Cardinals are 14-4 in their last 18 encounters with the Marlins and 4-1 in their previous five home tilts against Miami.
Miami Marlins
The Marlins carried a 33-38 record into Monday night’s clash at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. They’ve won four of their previous six contests, including a three-game series sweep against the Colorado Rockies.
Braxton Garrett pitched 4.2 innings of a two-run ball in a 3-2 victory over the Rockies this past Thursday. He scattered nine hits and issued a walk while punching out seven. The Marlins’ bullpen has done a good job in the last ten days and 31.1 innings of work, posting a 3.16 ERA, 3.86 FIP, and .231 BABIP to go with three wins, one loss, and a couple of saves.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals entered the Marlins series carrying a 41-34 record. They’ve struggled a bit lately, losing seven of their previous 11 games overall. Last Sunday, the Cards suffered a tough 6-5 defeat in ten innings to the Chicago Cubs and dropped a three-game home series.
Dakota Hudson is 5-4 with a serviceable 3.72 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 14 starts (75 IP) in 2022. He’s had a couple of rough outings in June, surrendering six runs in a 7-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds and five runs in a 5-4 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals’ bullpen has amassed a 3.35 ERA, 3.20 FIP, and .273 BABIP in the last ten days and 37.2 frames of work.
