Today at 1:05 p.m. ET, the Miami Marlins (12-12 spring training) and St. Louis Cardinals (12-10) take the field for some exhibition action live from Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla.
Henderson Alvarez (1-1, 5.54 ERA in spring training) mans the mound for Miami while Adam Wainwright (0-1, 4.70 ERA) takes the bump for the Cardinals.
Alvarez, 24, went 12-7 last season with a 2.65 ERA and 111 strikeouts in 30 starts while Wainwright, 33, went 20-9 with a 2.38 ERA and 179 strikeouts in 32 starts.

A player to highlight for the Marlins is outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, who had his MVP candidacy cut short last September after getting hit in the face with a fast ball.
Stanton finished first in the National League last season in homers (37), total bases (299) and slugging percentage (.255) while fashioning a .288 batting average and adding 105 RBI.
The Cardinals' player to watch is leadoff hitter and third baseman Matt Carpenter, who finished first in the league with 95 walks last season and was third in the NL with 99 runs in 2014.
Carpenter hit .272 last season for St. Louis.
