Giants vs Marlins Prediction
I’ll take a stab on the Marlins. This one’s going to come down to starting pitching between two winless pitchers (one who is ironically named Winn). Over his last two starts, Puk has three earned in 8.2 innings on nine hits and eight walks. As for the aforementioned Winn, he’s given up six earned in his last 11.0 innings. Both guys are capable of quality starts; it’s just going to depend on performance.
On Tuesday the Marlins got RBI from five different players—including two from Luis Arraez (along with two hits and a run). Burch Smith (0.1 innings; three hits; one earned) was a little rough but otherwise the pen did well otherwise. I like Miami to keep it going Wednesday.
