Miami MarlinsvsHouston Astros

MIA 2/HOU 5

MLB.TVDaikin Park
The preview

The Marlins roll into Daikin Park with the better record at 52-50, but Houston's still favored at home, listed around -120 with the total sitting at 8. This is a bit of an upset-alert spot for a Miami team that's quietly over .500 against an Astros club that's been scuffling below it, so this one's closer than the moneyline suggests.

Watch the bullpens late — whoever's manager avoids going to the pen too early probably wins it. Bold call: Marlins take this getaway-day-eve game behind a starter who works into the seventh and a two-out knock from the heart of the order.
