Miami Marlins vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

Both teams are tied 2-2 wins this season, and both teams are also 2-2 in their last 4 meetings in San Francisco. Under is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings and a perfect 4-0 this season, with 3.7 average total runs.
In this Miami MarlinsvsSan Francisco GiantsPrediction, the Giants are coming as -225 home favorites. The Giants are rightfully favored, as they have a better overall record, and have been very strong at home, while the Marlins have been weak on the road. the Giants have the best bullpen in the league, and Webb has been almost unhittable at home, and Cabrera has been lights out lately. None of their four meetings this season had more than 6 runs, and I don’t expect fireworks offensively with those two pitchers on the mound today. Take the under 7 runs.
