Miami is 2-7 in their last 9 road games and 1-6 in their last 7 games overall while the under is 8-0 in their last 8 games against the NL West. Arizona is 7-1 in their last 8 Wednesday games and 6-2 in their last 8 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing Arizona here. The Marlins were the far better team on Tuesday, but as much as I like Edward Cabrera, I just think this is a tough spot on a quick turnaround and these early starts have a tendency to favor the home team. Arizona’s still the better team side-by-side in my opinion, so I’ll back the Diamondbacks here.
