Miami Marlins Fantasy Spin
Brian Anderson cranked a two-run home run Tuesday in the Marlins' win over the Cardinals. The Marlins were nursing a 1-0 lead in the seventh inning when Anderson yanked a Jack Flaherty offering down the left field line and over the wall. The Fish broke it open from there. Anderson had been homerless with just one RBI in his previous 11 contests.
St. Louis Cardinals Fantasy Spin
Paul Goldschmidt was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday versus the Marlins. Jordan Yamamoto made Goldschmidt look silly on a couple strikeouts and also got him to ground out. Goldy had a chance to redeem himself with the bases loaded in the eighth inning but popped up the first pitch he saw from Sergio Romo. The first baseman is in the midst of a 1-for-20 slump and is batting just .179 in June.
MLB Betting Trends
Miami
The Marlins are 4-11 in Trevor Richards’ last 15 starts and are 2-9 in his last 11 outings on the road.

Prediction:
The over is 5-1 in the Marlins’ last six games following a win and is 8-2-2 in Richards’ last 12 starts versus an opponent that owns a winning record. The over is 8-3-1 in the Cardinals’ last 12 home games versus an opponent with a road winning percentage of less than .400 and is 4-0 in their last four games played on Wednesday.
