I was on San Diego's moneyline yesterday afternoon, and the Padres put together a seven-run second inning that turned a tight game into a laugher over Colorado. That kind of firepower is exactly why the total is the play here instead. Miami sends Tyler Phillips to the mound, a pitcher the Marlins have used almost as much out of the bullpen as in the rotation this year, and his last five turns have reached five innings only twice. San Diego counters with Nick Pivetta, making just his sixth start of the season after missing most of the year, and he's been limited to four or five innings in both outings since his return. Neither pitching staff is expected to get a traditional workload from its starter tonight, which means both bullpens will be leaned on early, and neither offense is a pushover: both clubs are scoring more than four and a quarter runs a game this season. Two short outings and two lineups that can push this number. Take the OVER tonight.

San Diego at Miami
4:10 PM Eastern
Six runs got scored Thursday night when these two opened this series, and Miami's part in that modest total says more about where this offense stands than the final score does. The Marlins have lost ten straight games, scoring 2.6 runs a night during that stretch and hitting .223 as a team over their last ten. JP Sears has been a different pitcher since the calendar flipped to July, posting a 2.51 ERA across three starts after a rocky start to his Padres tenure. Eury Pérez counters off arguably his best outing of the year, six scoreless innings and nine strikeouts against Milwaukee last time out. San Diego's bullpen has also turned a corner this month, working to a sub-3.30 ERA over the past week. Miami hasn't shown signs of snapping out of it even against pitching far less sharp than what Sears has flashed lately, and this UNDER doesn't need either arm to be dominant, just competent, against a team that can't buy a run right now. Take the UNDER this afternoon.
