Miami Marlins vs Chicago Cubs Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
Javier Assad (2-0, 2.16 ERA with 18 strikeouts) struck out at least 5 batters in each of his first three starts. Will that trend continue on Saturday against a Miami Marlins squad that have one of the worst batting numbers in the majors? The Cubs continue to rack up wins as Jameson Taillon returned from the injury list and pitched five solid innings in Friday’s 8-3 win over the Marlins. Chicago improved their home record to 6-1 and 12-7 overall, moving them 0.5 games behind the NL Central division leader Milwaukee Brewers 12-6. There seems no end in sight for the Marlins, who dropped to 4-16 following their fifth road loss of the season. Miami places in the bottom five in both batting and pitching stats metrics. They are batting .214/.275/.321 with 73 runs while holding 5.03 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and .266 BAA. The Cubs, meanwhile, have the 11th best batting average (.250), 7th in on base percentage (.332) and 6th in slugging percentage (.418) with 6th best run total (109).

Our Miami Marlins vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
Prediction: Again, Assad already has 18 strikeouts this season or an average of 6.0 strikeouts per game. Last season, the 26-year-old righty racked up 92 strikeouts in 32 games or 2.7 strikeouts per game. Assad has never faced the Marlins before so it will be interesting how he will hold up against Miami’s sluggers. DraftKings listed Assad at over/under 5.5 Ks, an indication that bookmakers are slowly recognizing the pitcher’s capability to strikeout batters. Our betting pick for Marlins vs. Cubs: Take Assad Over 5.5 strikeouts at DraftKings.
