Pittsburgh is 3-14 in their last 17 games overall and 9-23 in their last 32 games following a loss while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall. Miami is 9-3 in their last 12 home games and 15-6 in their last 21 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win.
Pick
I’m backing the Marlins here. Miami is just the better team and even though Pittsburgh snuck out a win on Friday and kept it close Saturday, they’re still more often than not finding new and creative ways to lose baseball games. The Marlins are playing with some kind of confidence right now and Eury Perez continues to pitch like the top-end prospect that the Marlins had him pegged out to be. Give me Miami here.
