4 Unit Play. Take Under 8.5 the Pittsburgh Pirates @ Florida Marlins
Let's take the Under in Florida today as the Pirates come into town. Zach Duke, the Clifton, Texas native rolls for the Bucks today as he comes off a 1-3 loss to the Cubs at home where he pitched very well but still fell short in 7 innings giving up 3 runs. Duke, who although is 8-6, has a 3.13 era and has been stellar with his control throughout the season. He has put together 4 straight and 7 of 8 quality starts and I expect him to have another strong outing today as he comes off a loss. Andrew Miller, another lefty and Florida native at that, has been a solid bounce-back pitcher after a non-quality start. He gave up 5 runs in 6 innings at Tampa Bay in his last go around and lost 2-5 on the highway - which is similar to an outing that he had in Boston only to come back in his next game at Baltimore and give up 1 earned run in 7 innings. I look for both Miller and Duke to have a strong effort today as the Under is 8-1 for the Pirates as an Underdog and 6-0 for the Marlins following a loss - who are in the heat of a division race currently.
