Miami Marlins vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Bill Christy | in MLB Picks
The Miami Marlins (54-90) take on the Pittsburgh Pirates (68-76) tonight for game two of their 3-game series. In game one, rookie sensation Paul Skenes, was on point. He went 6 innings and struck out 9 batters while holding the Marlins to just 1 run on 6 hits. Trailing 3-1 going into the 9th, Cristian Pache doubled in Jesus Sanchez off Aroldis Chapman to cut the lead to 1 but it was not enough as the Pirates won 3-2. In the win, O’Neil Cruz hit his 19th home run of the season in the win for Pittsburgh. Tonight, Carmen Mlodzinski (2-5, 3.73) will get the start for Pittsburgh. Albeit, likely to be a short appearance. He is the designated “opener” and has spent all his time coming out of the bullpen. For the Marlins, Adam Oller (1-2, 4.15) will get the go. He is coming off a 5.1 inning outing and allowed 4 runs on 5 hits. More suspect was his control, as he walked 5 batters while striking out 6. He will need to be better than that against this Pirates lineup. Neither of these teams have hopes of the postseason so they will be looking to see how their teams fight down the stretch and what younger players make the most of their late opportunities.

Our Miami Marlins vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Pirates have had the Marlins number over their recent stretch of games between them. With Mlodzinski getting the “start” but likely just pitching an inning or two, the Marlins will have to face several pitchers that will allow the Pirates to pick their spots with their relievers. Oller is coming off a rocky start and could be susceptible to having another one here as it will only be his 4th start of the season. We like Pittsburgh to take this one and continue their recent dominance over Miami.
Our prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs Miami Marlins: Pittsburgh to win, -155 at Draftkings.
