Marlins vs Cubs Predictions and Picks
"Miami comes into this series after dropping two out of three games against the lowly White Sox, and they are just 5-12 on the road this year. The Marlins have had a decent start at the plate, but their pitching staff has been brutal. Miami is starting Quantrill, who has allowed 4+ earned runs in three of his last four starts. Chicago has cooled off after their red-hot start to the season, but they are starting Rea, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Take the Cubs -1.5 here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
"I'm on the Cubs here. I just can't get there with Miami after how poor the Marlins looked in their weekend series against the White Sox, and Quantrill has had some serious issues in his career against the Cubs. I just think Chicago at home is too good to go against right now, especially when the Marlins are the alternative. Give me Chicago here." — Chris Ruffolo, Sports Chat Place
"Chicago has lost four of its last six overall, and the Cubs have dropped 12 of the last 18 played during May. Miami starter Cal Quantrill is coming off a strong outing in which the right-hander allowed one run on four hits across five innings. Chicago starter Colin Rea was hit hard last time out, allowing four runs on eight hits across five innings. Final Score Prediction: Miami Marlins win 5-4." — David Anicetti, Picks and Parlays
