Free NFL Pick
The Marlins Justin Nicolino has made three starts and has pitched okay in two of the three. His best start of his short career came in his only road start when he pitched seven scoreless innings against the Reds. He’ll face a Brewers’ team tonight that has averaged 2.77 runs per game over their last nine. Matt Garza gets the ball for Milwaukee and he’s been sharp since his return holding the opposition to three or fewer runs in all five outings and getting a Q start in four of the five. He doesn’t have a great stats line against the Marlins lineup with the active roster hitting .276 although the number is skewed by Suzuki’s 26 at bats of the combined 58 and all but one of his starts were in 2012 or earlier.
