Marlins at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Marlins 5

Moneyline

Before getting shut out Friday, Arizona had scored 6 or more runs in 3 of 4. The D-backs have won Montgomery’s last 3 starts.

The Marlins, though, have been getting some great pitching performances. They have 5 shutout wins in their last 9 games.

I like Arizona to bounce back but -185 isn’t worth a wager.

PASS. 

Run line/Against the spread

The Marlins are 11-12 ATS as road dogs. Of their last 14 losses, 13 have been by more than 1 run.

The Diamondbacks are 10-16 ATS at home and 7-12 ATS as home favorites.

Four of Arizona’s last 8 wins have been by only 1 run.

I like the Diamondbacks to win but the Marlins will cover the +1.5.

BET MARLINS +1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

Three of the last 4 for Miami have stayed Under 10 total runs. But each of its last 5 losses have all had 10 or more total runs.

Five of Arizona’s last 7 games have had totals of 10 or more.

BET OVER 9.5 (-105).

Marlins at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 6, Marlins 3

Moneyline

The Diamondbacks are 16-10 against teams without winning records. The Marlins are 7-15 on the road, although they come in with a 2-game road winning streak.

Arizona has scored 6 or more runs in 3 of their last 4 games. And Gallen has been so good against the Marlins in 3 career starts.

But don’t bet the Diamondbacks on the moneyline at -175. That just costs too much.

PASS.

The Diamondbacks are 7-11 ATS as home favorites this season but the Marlins are 10-12 ATS as road dogs.

While the Marlins have won 6 of their last 8 games, 13 of their last 14 losses have been by multiple runs.

BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

Nine of the Diamondbacks’ last 11 games have had 8 or more total runs while 4 of the last 6 games for the Marlins have had 8 runs or more.

Marlins at Diamondbacks picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 5, Marlins 4

Money line

The Marlins are struggling right now. They were swept by Arizona in Miami last week and have only 1 win in their last 8 games. They are 7-8 this season on the road.

The Diamondbacks’ starting pitching has been carrying them. They have won 9 of their last 12 games behind the league’s No. 2 starting pitching ERA at 2.21.

The Marlins have scored 2 or fewer runs in 3 of their last 4 contests.

Take DIAMONDBACKS (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

The Diamondbacks have MLB’s second-best record against the spread overall this season. They are 18-11 ATS, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers at 19-7 ATS. They are 16-10 ATS as underdogs.

The Marlins are 15-13 ATS but only 4-10 ATS as favorites.

It is close to being too pricy to be worth a bet but take the DIAMONDBACKS +1.5 (-170).

Over/Under

All 3 games had totals of 9 or more runs in their 3-game series in Miami last week.

Both teams have been in low-scoring games recently. The Marlins haven’t had a game with more than 8 runs in their last 4 outings and the Diamondbacks have not surpassed that number in their last 3 contests.

Castellanos has not pitched more than 5 2/3 innings in any out this season and Arizona’s bullpen ERA is 4.71, the 4th highest in the majors.

Take OVER 8.5 (-112).

Miami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Miami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Miami Marlins (15-18) and Arizona Diamondbacks (15-19) play the opener of a four-game set Monday at Chase Field with a 9:40 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Marlins vs. Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Marlins are expected to treat Monday’s contest as a bullpen game. They will face the Diamondbacks for the first time since 2019. The last time they were in Arizona, the Fish lost two of three games.

As of this publishing, the Marlins haven’t announced their “opening” pitcher. Two possibilities are RHP Luis Madero or RHP Jordan Holloway. Madero, who would be making his MLB debut, is 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 over 3 1/3 IP in 1 start with Triple-A Jacksonville this season. Holloway has made 5 relief appearances with the big-league club in 2021, posting a 1-0 record with a 0.00 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 over 10 IP.

RHP Luke Weaver is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-3 with a 6.07 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9 over 29 2/3 IP through 6 starts.

Weaver faced the Marlins in Miami last time out, and he was bounced for six earned runs, six hits and two walks with six strikeouts across just four innings in a loss. He hasn’t worked more than five innings since April 11.

  • Money line: Marlins +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Diamondbacks -125 (bet $125 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Off the board
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (Over -115 | Under -105)

Prediction

Marlins 8, Diamondbacks 7

Money line (ML)

The MARLINS (+105) will have a bullpen game in the opener of this four-game set. The Marlins just handled the Diamondbacks and Weaver last week, so play the underdogs in Game 1 of this series.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS with the RL off the board.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 8.5 (-115) is the best play on the board here. In fact, the Marlins posted an 8-0 win over Weaver and the Snakes in Miami Wednesday, taking care of the Over on their own. Don’t be surprised if they can do that yet again, although the Diamondbacks will score plenty in this bullpen game for the Fish.
