Marlins vs Cubs Odds & Picks (Aug 5)
Miami will trot out the rookie Cabrera in his first start since June 12th. The last time Cabrera pitched for AAA Jacksonville he went five innings, striking out seven. Chicago has gone 7-12 in Smyly's starts this season, with five of them being quality. Steele has a 3-2 record and 2.65 ERA in nine starts.
Marlins have lost five straight games since the All-Star break. The team has only scored 12 runs in the last six games. Charles Leblanc has been a bright spot for the team. Chicago has lost six of its last seven games and is struggling. The Cubs are +100000 longshots to win the World Series.
Neither team is setting the world on fire right now. It's hard to pick Miami to win with a compromised big league roster.
