St. Louis Cardinals vs Miami Marlins Betting Preview

The Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals square off on June 17, 2024, at LoanDepot Park in what looks to be a lopsided National League matchup. The Marlins are enduring a dreadful season with a 23-48 record, while the Cardinals sit at a middling 35-35, holding onto hopes of climbing the standings.

The Marlins have struggled offensively this season, ranking 29th in home runs, 29th in overall offense, 22nd in team batting average, and 21st in stolen bases. Their offense averages a dismal 3.39 runs per game, according to oddsmakers. In contrast, the Cardinals have been slightly better but still underwhelming, ranking 20th in overall offense, 19th in team batting average, 24th in home runs, and 26th in stolen bases. Their offense has an implied team total of 4.11 runs for this game.

On the mound for Miami will be Braxton Garrett, a left-hander struggling with a 6.10 ERA this season, though his 3.57 xFIP suggests he has been somewhat unlucky. Garrett has a 2-2 record over six starts and projects to allow 2.4 earned runs and strike out 4.6 batters over 5.2 innings, according to THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system. However, he will have to overcome a tough task, as the Marlins bullpen ranks 22nd in MLB.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals counter with Sonny Gray, who has been stellar this season with a 3.01 ERA and an 8-4 record over 12 starts. Ranked as the 12th best starting pitcher in MLB by advanced statistics, Gray projects to allow only 2.1 earned runs and strike out 6.2 batters in 5.5 innings. This solid starting pitching is complemented by a bullpen ranked 5th in MLB.

Offensively, the Marlins will need significant contributions from Jazz Chisholm, who has been their best hitter over the past week, batting .400 with an OPS of .979. For the Cardinals, Ivan Herrera has been red-hot, hitting .500 with a 1.145 OPS over the last seven days.

Given the Marlins' ongoing struggles and the Cardinals' more balanced profile, expect St. Louis to be favored in this matchup, with their higher win probability reflecting their stronger overall roster and current form.

Quick Takes St. Louis Cardinals:

As it relates to his strikeout talent, Sonny Gray projects as the 16th-best starter in the game currently, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).

  • THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.

According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 3rd-least strikeout-prone lineup today is the St. Louis Cardinals with a 21.9% underlying K%.

  • THE BAT X analyzes each player in today's specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

Quick Takes Miami Marlins:

Josh Bell is an extreme groundball batter and matches up with the strong infield defense of St. Louis (#2-best on the slate).

  • This player's skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team's defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins' bullpen ranks as the 9th-worst out of all the teams in the game.

  • Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game's runs.

Game Trends

  • The Miami Marlins have hit the Game Total Over in 24 of their last 36 games at home (+12.05 Units / 30% ROI)
  • The St. Louis Cardinals have hit the Game Total Under in 15 of their last 20 games (+10.50 Units / 47% ROI)
  • Masyn Winn has hit the Runs Under in 15 of his last 19 games (+8.75 Units / 28% ROI)
