Marlins Streak Meets Pirates Fire

The Marlins are streaking with five wins in a row, despite a rough road record, while the Pirates hover just above .500 with a strong home slate. Sandy Alcantara faces a hot Braxton Ashcraft, who’s outpitching him lately, and the Pirates are favored at home. Marlins’ recent surge has them outscoring foes by 14 runs in their last 10, while Pirates are down 5 runs over the same stretch. Injuries loom for Miami’s pitching staff, adding pressure as they try to keep pace. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
