Pick

The Marlins were able to pick up a big win on Wednesday night and they will look to get the series split in this game, while the Brewers will look to extend their lead in the NL Central. There are currently four teams within a half game of each other battling for the last NL Wild Card spot, so every game is important. The Marlins are starting Eury Perez, who has allowed five earned runs in his last 21.2 innings of work. The Brewers are starting Adrian Houser, who has allowed four earned runs in two of his last four starts, but is coming off of the IL. I am not a fan of Adrian Houser, so I am going to take the Marlins in this one.
