The St Louis Cardinals and the Miami Marlins will play the second game of the series at the Busch Stadium on Tuesday night. The Cardinals shutout the Marlins in the first of the series.

Probable Pitcher:
Dakota Hudson (5-4, 3.72 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Cardinals. Hudson suffered the loss against Milwaukee on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks in 4.1 innings while striking out two batters. He has a record of 1-0 with an ERA of 0.93 and 6 strikeouts in 3 appearances versus the Marlins in his career.

Braxton Garrett (1-2, 4.08 ERA) will start for the Marlins in the 2nd game of the series. Garrett struck out seven batters in 4.2 innings against the Colorado Rockies, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk. He did not factor into the decision. He has given up 2 runs on 7 hits with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts in 4.1 innings against the Cardinals in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
Miami Marlins are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against St. Louis.
The total has gone UNDER in 12 of Miami's last 18 games against an opponent in the National League Central Division division.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of St. Louis' last 7 games against Miami.
St. Louis Cardinals are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games at home.
Prediction
The Cardinals outscored the Marlins in the first game of the series with a dominant performance from Adam Wainwright. For this game, St Louis will send Dakota Hudson who's coming from a tough loss against the Brewers but he has dominated the Marlins in his career holding a 0.93 ERA against them. Miami will send Braxton Garret to the mound who has only 4 starts this season and the Marlins are 2-2 this season with him on the mound. The Cardinals is the best team overall here and I think the Marlins will continue struggling offensively against Hudson. Take the Cardinals
