Marlins at Giants picks and predictions
Prediction
Marlins 4, Giants 3
Moneyline
The Marlins are 10-11 on the road this season but have won 4 of their last 6 road games while the Giants are 14-11 at home and 12-5 in their last 17 home games.
However, as Wood had not gotten out of the 5th inning this season, the Giants will have to rely on their bullpen. Giants relievers have a 5.37 ERA, the 3rd-highest in all of baseball.
BET MARLINS (+110).
Run line/Against the spread
PASS
At -185 for the Marlins to cover, it isn’t worth the action, having to bet nearly twice what you can win.
