San Francisco GiantsvsMiami Marlins
SF 3/MIA 6
The San Francisco Giants are limping into loanDepot park tonight at 31-44, which is the kind of record that gets managers fired, while the Miami Marlins sit right at .500 at 38-38 and desperately need wins to stay in the conversation. Miami comes in as a decent favorite at minus-143, and with an over-under of just 8, the books are expecting a pitcher's duel — both bullpens have been shaky enough this year that I'd watch for the manager going to the pen too early and handing somebody a crooked number.
The Giants' heart of the order has been ice cold on the road this month, and if Miami's starter can go deep into the game and keep San Francisco off the bases, this one could get ugly fast. Bold call: Marlins win it in a walk-off situation, because that's exactly the kind of weird game a rebuilding squad trips into when the visiting pitcher leaves one over the plate in the seventh.
