Final Orioles-Marlins Prediction & Pick

While Albert Suarez has not been great this year, he has been solid as a starting pitcher. Against a weak Marlins lineup, he should have a good day. Further, if he can get through six innings, the Orioles bullpen has been solid and should be able to close out the game. The Orioles have hit well all year long and will continue to do so in Miami. Take the Orioles in this one.
