This game here should be one that is interesting as the starting pitchers are coming in very evenly matched. However, look for the Marlins to play a little bit more consistent on the day with their roster and playing at home. The Marlins should be able to pick up the win, but I highly doubt that with these two offenses not being that great threatening the over in the game here.
