Bet Tonight’s Marlins vs. Giants Game
The over is a perfect 5-0 in Fernandez’s last five starts versus the National League West and 7-0 in his last seven starts coming off four days of rest. The over is also 5-2 in his last seven road starts and has cashed in seven of the Marlins’ last 10 games following a loss.

The over is also 5-1 in Peavy’s last six starts versus a team with a losing record and 4-1 in his last five starts after allowing two runs or less in their previous game. The over is 6-2 in Peavy’s last eight starts and 10-3 in his last 13 starts after scoring five runs or more in their previous game as well.
OUR PREDICTION: Peavy has followed up his ugly spring with a rough start to the season. He’s allowed 14 runs on 28 hits, giving him a 9.00 ERA and a 4.29 xFIP. He’s striking out just 6.43 batters per nine and he’s yet to reach the sixth inning in any of his three starts. Fernandez has been his usual dominant self to start the season but he should receive plenty of run support in a game that goes over the total for bettors.
