The Cardinals are currently five games back in the wildcard race and are looking to bounce back from a disappointing series loss against the Yankees over the weekend. Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson have been key contributors offensively, while Willson Contreras has struggled against the Marlins. Despite Nolan Arenado on the IL, the team is still maintaining a decent offensive output, averaging 4.33 runs per game. Their pitching staff has a 4.25 ERA, placing them 20th in the league.

Miami Marlins

Edward Cabrera will be starting on the mound for the Miami Marlins, coming off a tough outing last week where he conceded five runs in 5.1 innings against the Guardians. Despite this, Cabrera is having the best season of his career, with an impressive 3.34 ERA and 1.16 WHIP along with a 6-6 record in 113.1 innings pitched. The Marlins have been struggling this month, but the young core is showing development, especially in the hitting department.

Players like Kyle Stowers, Eric Wagaman, and Xavier Edwards have been contributing offensively, with Stowers hitting 25 home runs and driving in 73 RBIs so far this season. Unfortunately, Connor Corby is currently sidelined with a wrist injury. The team is averaging 4.32 runs per game and their pitching staff has a 4.52 ERA, ranking them 18th and 25th in the league, respectively.
