The Miami Marlins take on the Chicago Cubs in game one of a four-game series. The Cubs have won three of their last four games. The Marlins are losers of three of their last four games. The Miami Marlins are off to a terrible start this season after making the playoffs last season. The Marlins will send AJ Puk to the mound. He is 0-3 this season with a 5.91 ERA in 10.2 innings pitched. He has walked 14 batters and struck out eight in 10,2 innings. The Cubs are expected to send Jameson Taillon to the mound for his first start of the season. Taillon pitched well at the end of last season but did not get a lot of run support. He started the season this year injured but is ready to go. The Cubs are 5-1 at home this season. The Cubs are putting up almost six runs a game and should have a better record but have blown a few games with a shaky pen. The Marlins have struggled at the plate and on the mound. I would like to take the Cubs on the run-line but their pen makes me nervous.
Play on the Chicago Cubs. This is a 3% play.
