Today’s matchup is between the Miami Marlins (24-30) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (20-34). The Marlins have won 1 of their last 5 games & the Pirates have won 2 of their last 5 games.
The Marlins are starting Cody Poteet (RHP), on the mound who is 2-1 on the season pitching a 2.95 ERA, 3.13 FIP, .236 wOBA, K% of 23.2%, BB% of 4.9%, 90.0 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.84 WHIP in 21.1 innings pitched.
The Pirates are starting Tyler Anderson (LHP), who is 3-5 on the season with a 4.63 ERA, 4.39 FIP, .313 wOBA, K% of 23.3%, BB% of 7.2%, 89.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.21 WHIP in 56.1 innings pitched.
The Marlins are the 5th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Pirates are 12th.
On the hitting side, the Marlins have a .291 wOBA and a .300 OBP. The Pirates have a .288 wOBA and a .300 OBP. The Marlins have 45 HRs this season while the Pirates have 37 HRs.
This one is pretty simple. Marlins are simply the better team and Cody Poteet should get another win! Line is not available yet but I would play this up to -200.
