The San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at loanDepot Park. The Marlins have won the first two games of this series. 

The Marlins come into this game with a 52-65 record overall but when they get any sort of offense they usually find some sort of offense. The Marlins offense is averaging only 3.38 runs per game which is 27th in the league. Over the first two games, the Marlins have scored only seven runs total but they have still won each of the games. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Padres who sit with a 66-54 record overall. The Padres made some big additions including Juan Soto at the trade deadline, but they haven’t played well enough since that point. The Padres strength this season has been the pitching asn they are giving up 4.04 runs per game which is 10th in the league. Manny Machado has hit 21 home runs and driven in 73 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Padres is Mike Clevinger who sits with a 4-4 record and an ERA of 3.47. In his last start against the Nationals he went five innings giving up three this and one run. 

On the mound for the Marlins will be Pablo Lopez who sits with a 7-7 record and an ERA of 3.55. In his last start against the Atlanta Braves, he went 5.2 innings giving up four hits and two runs. 

The Padres are 4-1 in their last five games during Game 3 of a series. The under is 6-0-2 in the Marlins last eight games overall. The under is 4-0-2 in the Marlins last six home games against a right-handed starter. The over is 6-0 in Lopez’s last six starts during Game 3 of a series. 

Both offenses have been inconsistent heading into this game and runs are going to be hard to come by in this game. Clevinger and Lopez have both been good pitchers heading into this game, and they will both find success here. Back the under to cash in this game. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
