The Marlins have gotten off to a terrible start. He wasn't great but Rogers wasn't "terrible" in his first outing. He allowed 4 earned runs, striking out 6. Given that he only made 4 starts last season, after a full workload in 2021 and 2022, it was a somewhat encouraging effort which he can build from. He was also really sharp in his only career start at St. Louis. In 6 innings, he allowed 1 run on 3 hits. He struck out 6 and walked 0. The final score was 2-1 for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals lost a 1-run game in Matz's first start this season. Matz's last start versus Miami was an 8-4 loss in which he gave up 9 hits and 6 runs. His team starts are 4-2 his last 6 against the Marlins but 2 of the wins were by 1 run. The Cardinals have struggled in day games so far and they will get all that they can handle from Miami on Saturday afternoon! Play the Marlins on the run-line.
