This is a 10* NL TOW on the OVER Cards/Marlins.

Both teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games, but everything finally points to more of a "slug-fest" finally here in Miami in the opener of this NL series in my opinion, as I look for this total to eclipse the posted number sooner, rather than later.

St. Louis has seen the total go UNDER in seven straight after taking two of three from the Cubs over the weekend. That fact though has only helped in driving today's O/U line a little bit lower than it normally would/should be though in my opinion.

The Marlins are off five straight losses after dropping all three in the Nation's capital over the weekend. Note though that the Fish have in fact seen the total go OVER in eight of their last 12 after five or more straight losses in a row.

The visitors go with Sonny Gray, while the home side counters with Braxton Garrett to start.

Everything though points to a quick exit for these two guys this evening and for this total to fly OVER the number before it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
