2U, FREE- Marlins vs. Pirates

[Pick Bot]

Maholm has been a stud this year and he is even more dominant at home. I think the Pirate bats struggle today as well against the Marlins ace who has struggled. Nolasco has a history of struggling in April, but he is a better pitcher on the road and during the day. His 3.33era away and 2.49era during the day was better than his home and night era by a total of 2.73 runs/game. He had a 3.12era vs. PIT last year and I see him pitching solid today in a pitchers duel. Florida is only hitting .196 vs. LHP in their last 10 games and PIT only batting .216 vvs. Nolasco with the only success coming from Ryan Doumit who is now on the DL. Go with the under 8 runs (2U play) 1-5 scale.
