Free MLB Pick
The Marlins have lost 7 straight games and 10 of their last 11. Scoring has been the issue for the most part with their offense putting up more than 3 runs in just two of the 11 games. They send out Henderson Alvarez to the mound tonight and he’s been marginal at best this season in three starts losing all three games with a bloated 6.23 ERA. Orioles’ starter Ubaldo Jimenez has been sharp this season with an impressive ERA of 2.43, but that number rises considerably on the road where he is 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA. We don’t like bucking a streak unless we have a favorable situation in place and we believe we do in this game. The Marlins bats finally appeared in their last game with 6 runs albeit in a losing cause against the Diamondbacks. Jimenez has not been at his best on the road and add in the fact that Baltimore is a bankroll crushing 5-11 on the road and we have enough to support a play on the home team as a small underdog.
