Marlins are starting Pablo Lopez to open the series vs Adam Wainwright on the opposite mound.

-Pablo is 2-2 in AWAY starts, with 13 Earned Runs and 5 Homeruns in those start.

-Cardinals are starting Adam Wainwright, who is 2-2 in home starts with 11 Earned Runs and 2 Homeruns in those starts.

- Last time these two teams met with Wainwright starting, was in Miami, where Adam only allowed 5 Hits, 1 Earned Run, and 6 Strikeouts in 5 innings of a 5-1 victory to open that series.

- Last time these two teams met with Lopez starting, was in Miami, where Pablo only allowed 3 hits, 0 Earned Runs, and 9 strikeouts in a 0 - 5 victory to close a losing series.

The Cards are the better batting team than the Marlins, so even though its been proven that both pitchers can make it tough on the opposition, I see the Cardinals winning another series opener vs Miami.
