Marlins vs Pirates Prediction 

Pittsburgh had its winning streak come to an end on Tuesday night, and they have scored two runs in three of their last four games. The Pirates are 18-19 at home this year, while the Marlins are 11-20 on the road. Miami’s offense has also really struggled in recent games, but its pitching has shown slight improvement. The Marlins are starting Quantrill, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four straight outings. The Pirates are going with Falter, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five. Both of these pitchers have been solid in recent outings, and I don’t love either offense, so give me the under here.
