Why The Marlins Could Win

The Marlins come into the series finale against the Giants winning 5 of their last 6 games behind some dominant pitching. The pitching staff has allowed 4 runs or fewer in each of their last 6 games and they hope that continue to win their second straight series to keep their position at No. 2 in the NL East.

Taking the mound is Jesus Luzardo (3-2 3.16 ERA) has been a bright spot in the Marlins' starting pitching staff. Many believed that Sandy Alcantara would be the dominant pitcher in this staff but it's been Luzardo leading the way early in the season. With the slumping Giants offense up to the plate, there is a good chance that Luzardo could mow them down.

Why The Giants Could Win

The Giants have had an up-and-down season so far, but prior to their 1-0 defeat to the Marlins last night they had won four straight where they plated 21 runs over that stretch. Their bats will need to come back to life after being blanketed in their last loss and only mustered up 5 hits.

Taking the mound for the Giants is Alex Wood (0-0 2.87 ERA). In his first start since April 18, he was able to limit the Phillies to 2 runs on 4 hits and 1 walk over 4.2 innings pitched and he struck out 4. He just came off the disabled list and he was on a pitch count so the Giants hope they can stretch him a bit more in this game against Marlins. The current Marlins lineup is only 9 for 52 (.173 BA) against Wood in their career.

Final Marlins-Giants Prediction & Pick

Given the current state of both of these two lineups expect this game to be relatively close throughout with two good pitchers on the mound. If the Giants can get out to an early lead on the Marlins it would be hard for them to come back with the limited offense that they have. The Giants should win this one comfortably as long as Alex Wood stays in his form and they could give him some run support.

Final Marlins-Giants Prediction & Pick: San Francisco Giants (-126) Under 8 (-115)
