Why the Pirates Will Beat the Marlins

  • The Marlins have lost each of their last 15 Monday night road games.
  • The Pirates have won each of their last five games against the Marlins.
  • The Marlins have failed to cover the run line in 15 of their last 16 night games against NL Central opponents following a home win.
  • The Pirates have covered the run line in 12 of their last 13 games against the Marlins following a win.

Miami Marlins vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

This game is going to be low-scoring. Paul Skenes is dominant, and he’s going to dominate again here. Bellozo in his last start gave up zero runs, and he’s going to dominate again here. The Pirates and Marlins are both going to have some major issues getting any sort of offense going here, and that will be the difference, as this game is going to end up under the total. Back the under to cash.
