The Miami Marlins and the Pittsburgh Pirates will try to win the series by pinning their hopes on their top pitchers. Caesars Sportsbook anticipates a low-scoring ballgame, setting the over/under at 7.0 runs.

Momentum: The Pirates and the Marlins split the first two games of their matchup, leading to a winner-take-all Game 3. Pittsburgh is 2-3 over its last five games, while the Marlins had won six games in a row before absorbing a 2-3 loss to the Pirates on Saturday.

Matchup: The Pirates have won 4 of their last 6 meetings with the Marlins. These clubs have averaged a combined 7.5 runs per game over their last 10 head-to-head games and 7.6 runs over their last 3 faceoffs.

Starting Pitchers: Sunday’s Game 3 will pit two terrific hurlers against each other. The Marlins will start Max Meyer, who has posted a 6-0 record with a 2.85 ERA this season. The Pirates counter by fielding their ace hurler, Paul Skenes, who has gone 6-5 with a 2.84 ERA this season.

Hot on the Board: With two elite-level starters going head-to-head in the finale, the Under 7.0 has become a go-to pick for bettors preferring a safe play in what has been an unpredictable series.
