Marlins vs Giants Prediction
The Giants are the better team and should be favored, but they’ve also cooled off over the last week, and I’m not thrilled to lay this price with Harrison having just 9.1 innings under his belt this season. The Marlins are winning just enough to be worth a look in the underdog role, and while Quantrill has been a mess overall this season, he’s been better lately, allowing 13 hits and six runs in his last 17.2 innings. The Marlins have won six of the last nine games Quantrill has pitched. In 54 at-bats against current Giants, Quantrill is allowing a .204 batting average with 11 strikeouts. The Marlins are worth consideration on Friday night.
