I took two losses on Monday in the games, with both of them ending 3-2.However, yesterday, I went 1-1 as I took the Marlins on the moneyline and Sandy Alcantara spun a gem for them.

He has allowed just nine earned runs in those innings.Cardinals hitters are batting .267 against him in 30 at-bats.The St.
