The under is 3-0-1 in Marlins last 4 overall. The under is 4-1-1 in Giants last 6 overall. The Marlins are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in San Francisco.

Randy’s Pick

Solid pitching matchup, but I'd need more plus money to consider the Marlins here on the road. Alex Wood looks is off to a fabulous start through 16 innings, and he's had success against the Marlins in his career. Jesus Luzardo has had his issues on the road this year. Price is nearly a pick em. I have to lean Giants at home.
