MLB Predictions: Will Marlins vs. Pirates go over betting total again? 6/10/17
Will the over hit again today in Pittsburgh when the Pirates host the Marlins at 4:05PM ET?
The Odds: Marlins vs. Pirates, 4:05PM ET, PNC Park
According to oddsmakers, visiting Miami is a -112 money line favorite to win today in Pittsburgh. That makes the home squad Pirates a +102 money line underdog. With Dan Straily set to face Trevor Williams in the pitching matchup, the over/under sits at 9.5 runs.
Pitching Matchup: Dan Straily (MIA) vs. Trevor Williams (PIT)
Straily pitched seven innings of three-run ball in a loss on Monday against the Cubs. The right-hander has been excellent at home this year, allowing two home runs and owning a 2.27 ERA. That said, he has been beat up on the road this season. Straily has allowed seven dingers and posted a 5.46 ERA in five starts away from Miami.
Meanwhile, Williams threw seven innings of one-run ball on Sunday in the Pirates’ victory over the Mets. His offense scored 11 runs for him, so Williams was able to cruise through those seven innings. He scattered seven hits and walked two while striking out three. The 25-year-old right-hander has been solid in back-to-back starts.
Our Prediction
The over is 5-1 in Straily’s last six starts overall and is 14-6-2 in the Marlins’ last 22 road games. In Miami’s last nine games against National League Central opponents, the over is also 7-2.
On the other side, the over has cashed in four of the Pirates’ last five games. It is also 8-2-1 in Pittsburgh’s last 11 games versus a team with a losing record. Furthermore, the over is 5-1 in the Bucs’ last six games coming off a loss and is 3-0-1 in Williams’ last four starts versus an opponent that owns a losing record.
Saturday MLB Prediction: Marlins/Pirates over 9.5
