Claim Your Welcome Bonus!Miami has trouble on offense
After an injury to one of the team's best rebounders, Jazz Chisholm, things have gotten completely out of whack on offense. Already struggling to score, the Marlins have rarely reached the mark of 3 or 4 runs per game of late. In their series with Pittsburgh, Don Mattingly's team managed only 8 points in 3 games overall.
Offensively, the Marlins are one of the worst in the MLB at the moment, but are able to win on defense. In Game 4 of the series with Pittsburgh, Braxton Garrett will come out on the mound to prove it, 1-3 and with a 4.33 ERA in 7 starts this season.
Pittsburgh could win to nil
After two wins to start the series in Miami, the Pirates came close to winning game three as well, but first, after leading 1-0, they allowed 2 runs in the 8th inning. Then they tied the game in the ninth and put the game into overtime. But in extra innings, after taking the lead 4-2, Pittsburgh still allowed 3 runs and lost the game they had essentially won. A 4-5 loss to the Pirates, who could very well have led 3-0 in this series.
Starting on the mound for Pittsburgh in game four of the series in Miami will be Zach Thompson, 3-6 and a 4.38 ERA in 15 games this season.

Expert Betting Tips
The first two games of the series turned out to be very low-scoring. In the third, the opponents scored only 4 runs in 9 innings, reaching the bookie's TO only in extra-inning innings. In the fourth game, considering Miami's problems on offense and their strength on defense, we are likely to see a low-scoring encounter again. In addition, we can also consider betting on a win for Pittsburgh, which, if a little luckier, could have taken all three games of the series at LoanDepot Park.
Prediction: Pittsburgh will win in a low-scoring match.
