The Marlins (27-25) are in third place in the National League East, having surged past the free-falling Phillies. Don’t forget to check for more MLB lines by clicking here.

A Brief Analysis on the Free MLB Betting Pick on Pittsburgh Pirates at Miami Marlins & TV Info

When: Thursday, June 2, 2016, 7:10pm Eastern time Where: Marlins Park, Miami TV: ROOT, FSF Radio: Pittsburgh / Miami Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Juan Nicasio (4-4, 4.79 ERA) (PIT) vs Wei-Yin Chen (3-2, 4.37 ERA) (MIA)

Why should you bet on Pittsburgh?

The Pirates face Wei-Yin Chen as the Marlins’ starting pitcher, and he tends to leave games early. In three of his last six starts, he has not lasted six innings. He has posted a bulbous 5.35 ERA at home this season, which means there could be plenty of pitches for the Bucs to see. In the last week, Gregory Polanco has hit a grand slam, Sean Rodriguez has slammed a two-run homer, and David Freese posted a four-hit game on Monday.

Why should you put your money on the Marlins?

The biggest bat in the Marlins’ lineup is expected to return tonight and should play Thursday as well, as Giancarlo Stanton is back from a seven-day absence due to a sore right side. J.T. Realmuto has been seeing the ball well as lately, as he had three hits in Miami’s win on Tuesday. A.J. Ramos has already piled up 16 saves for a team barely over .500. The Pirates did put up 10 runs on Monday but other than that have struggled as of late. Juan Nicasio, the Pirates’ starter on Saturday, was tattooed for four runs, including home runs by Adrian Beltre and Mitch Moreland, as the Rangers beat Pittsburgh in interleague play.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Prediction

I think the Marlins will find some hittable pitches from Nicasio, and I like them to take the lead early and make things as easy as possible for Chen and the Miami bullpen. I’m predicting a 6-4 win for the Fish.
