Miami Marlins vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction: Cardinals have an easy task to deal with

Monday, Major League Baseball at LoanDepot Park will see the Miami Marlins take on the St. Louis Cardinals. The two teams will come into this game hoping for a strong start, as this is the opener of a three-game series. How will this game unfold?

Miami Marlins are off a series loss to the Washington Nationals, and in this game, they will hope for a better result. In that series, the Miami Marlins scored just two runs while giving up 15. In the meantime, the Miami Marlins have failed to win any of their series since the middle of May. This season, the Miami Marlins have lost 48 of their 71 matches and are positioned in the bottom spot of the National League. 

The St. Louis Cardinals will be confident of securing a win following a series win over the Chicago Cubs. In the series, the St. Louis Cardinals started with a 0-3 victory in game one and then lost 5-1 in the second game. However, the St. Louis Cardinals pulled off a hard-fought 1-2 win in the finale. Entering into this opener, the St. Louis Cardinals have won 35 and lost 35 of their matches this season, leaving them 5th in the National League standings. 

The Miami Marlins have no chance in this game, and I do not trust them at all. Unarguably, the Miami Marlins are the weakest side in the National League and looking at their form into this encounter, I expect little from them. On the other hand, the St. Louis Cardinals are on an impressive run of performance, and while they have been a bit inconsistent, they should still be able to win with a two run margin.
