The Cardinals are clawing to stay in the Wild Card hunt. Despite injuries to key players like Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan, they’ve found sparks in Pedro Pages (14-for-32, 3 HR, 10 RBI in last 10 games) and Alec Burleson, who leads the team with a .283 average. Their pitching remains shaky, but the bats showed life in Monday’s win.
Miami Marlins
- Record: 59–66 (3rd in NL East)
- Last 10 Games: 2–8
- Streak: L1

The Marlins are struggling post-All-Star break, especially on the mound with a 6.07 ERA over their last 10 games. However, Edward Cabrera (3.34 ERA, 120 K) gives them a solid chance tonight. Offensively, Xavier Edwards (.300 AVG) and Otto Lopez (11 HR, 38 BB) are the key contributors.
