Chicago Cubs vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Cubs. Assad is on a pretty good run over his last three outings. In that trio he’s 1-0 with a combined four earned runs in 14.1 innings of work. As for Oller, he gave up five earned in 4.2 innings during his first start of the season versus the Diamondbacks.

On Saturday the Cubs were pretty great on both sides. Pretty much everyone contributed on offense and the pitching staff was pretty stout behind Shota Imanaga’s start. I see Chicago keeping it rolling Sunday.
