Marlins over Pirates- I have to question why this game opened as a Pick-em affair when the stats as re so heavily stacked in the Pirates favor. To start with Pittsburgh is at home where they are 29-14 and have won 18 of their last 22 at PNC Park. They have won their last two while the Marlins who are 20-24 on the road have dropped their last two contests including 10 of their last 14 on the road. Even tonight's starters show trends that favor the Pirates as Kevin Correia (6-6, 4.25 ERA) has won four straight decisions while Miami's Rocky Nolasco (8-7, 4.47 ERA) has dropped four of his last six starts. The answer may be in their respective lifetime marks against each opponent as Nolasco is 5-3 against the Pirates with an ERA of 2.10 while Correia is 2-4 with a 7.24 ERA against Miami. Take the MARLINS!
