The Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics meet Tuesday in MLB action at Oakland Coliseum. The Miami Marlins need a win after losing 10 of their last 14 games. The Oakland Athletics look for a win after splitting their last 8 games.

The Miami Marlins have scored 6 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 10 of their last 11 games. The Marlins have lost 8 of their last 11 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Jesus Aguilar leads the Marlins with 96 hits and 48 RBI, while Garrett Cooper and Miguel Rojas have combined for 172 hits and 71 RBI. Pablo Lopez gets the ball, and he is 7-8 with a 3.83 ERA and 131 strikeouts this season. This will be Lopez’s first career game against the Athletics.

The Oakland Athletics have scored 9 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 10 games. The Athletics have lost 9 straight games when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Sean Murphy leads the Athletics with 101 hits and 53 RBI, while Seth Brown and Tony Kemp have combined for 164 hits and 77 RBI. Zach Logue gets the ball, and he is 3-7 with a 6.35 ERA and 31 strikeouts this season. This will be Logue’s first career game against the Marlins.

The Marlins are 1-6 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series and 7-19 in their last 26 overall. The Athletics are 15-37 in their last 52 home games and 4-11 in their last 15 overall. The under is 33-15-4 in Marlins last 52 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Athletics last 5 overall. The over is 5-2-1 in the last 8 meetings.

Pablo Lopez hasn’t been great in his last 3 starts, but he’s been solid overall this year with a 3.83 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and .233 allowed batting average. We can’t say the same for Zach Logue who has a 6.35 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and .283 allowed batting average. Logue has allowed 13 runs in his last 9.2 innings. Like last night, the Miami Marlins should once again win this game due to their starting pitching.
