On Friday, the Miami Marlins will go for two in a row against the Pittsburgh Pirates at LoanDepot Park.
The Marlins drew first blood after edging the Pirates 5-4 for their first win of the season. Miami clawed back from 1-4 down behind furious rally in the second half of the match. Starter Sandy Alcantara had a rough opening night, throwing two runs and four walks in 4.0 innings. Despite a subpar outing from their ace, the Marlins stayed resilient until they found their breakthrough when Xavier Edwards scored on a passed ball in the 6th inning. Kyle Stowers, Otto Lopez, and Dane Myers drove RBI singles between the 8th and the 9th inning to complete the comeback.
Paul Skenes, the 2024 National League Player of the Year, allowed 2 earned runs with 7 strikeouts in 5.1 innings in a loss. The Pirates’ four runs scored in the game came from Bryan Raynolds and Nick Gonzalez, who chipped in two RBIs each.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Miami Marlins Prediction
The Pirates will bounce back strong in Game 2. Pittsburgh are 8-1 SU in their last nine games against Miami and have won by at least two runs in six of these 8 wins. Mitch Killer allowed four earned runs the last time he pitched against Miami. But I still trust him more than Connor Gillispie, who is set to make his first career start. I believe that after that come-from-behind loss, the Pirates have learned a big lesson about protecting leads. Our betting prediction for Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Miami Marlins: Pirates will cover -1.5 runs.
