The 53-42 Miami Marlins will look to snap their 3-game skid when they open a 3-game set with the 40-53 St. Louis Cardinals tonight at Busch Stadium. Tonight’s expected starters are lefty Jesús Luzardo for the Marlins and Miles Mikolas for the Cardinals. Mikolas is 5-5 with a 4.12 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Luzardo is 8-5 with a 3.29 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and over his last 3 turns he has been locked in, going 2-0 with an ERA of only 0.96 and a 0.86 WHIP. Luzardo last faced St. Louis on July 4th, when he pitched 6 scoreless innings resulting in a 15-2 Marlins romp. Miami has won 3 of the 4 meetings with St. Louis this year and will notch another tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MIAMI MARLINS
