Miami is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games against the NL West while the under is 12-3-3 in their last 18 home games.
Pick
I’m backing the under here. Not because I trust either starting pitcher in this game, but the offenses on both sides have been so inconsistent that I have a hard time envisioning where runs will come from. I lean towards the Marlins because they’re in better form over the last week, but I think the under is the stronger play here.
