Miami Marlins vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 8/21/24, 2:45 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

It has been a relief for the Diamondbacks that Montgomery has improved his numbers a bit this month. He came to the team as a way to boost an already good starting rotation, but Montgomery posted an ERA greater than 7.0 in the months of May, June and July. The D-backs' offense has responded to the difficulties in pitching, the current NL champions have led the MLB for some time in runs per game, where they average 5.3

Now, the D-backs will have to deal for at least a week with the key hitting substitutions of Marte and Walker. 

After being swept by the Rays, they had their games against a weak Marlins whom they beat in the first two games. This year the D-backs are 24-14 in games decided by one run.

The Marlins have lost 7 of the last 10, scoring 15 fewer runs than their rivals. For the Marlins, Burger continues to lead the team with 248 AVG, 15 doubles and 24 HRs. Lopez has a good streak at bat, hitting 12-for-39 in the last 10 games.

In a line-up where everyone bats, Caroll once again stood out for the Diamondbacks, who in the last 10 games has 5 HRs.
