Despite playing home games in a big park, Miami is one of the best offensive teams in baseball, third in runs scored and batting average, fifth in slugging, and No. 1 in on-base percentage. Miami has veteran righty Kevin Slowey going, a guy who doesn't walk batters (four in 12 innings), which is a huge plus in a big park like this. The Marlins are 12-4 in their last 16 home games and face Seattle's Brandon Maurer, who is 5-8 in his career with a 6.30 ERA. Seattle is 3,000 miles from home and the Mariners are 1-8 in Maurer's last nine starts, plus 7-21 in their last 28 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Marlins are 5-0 in their last five interleague home games, so grab Miami in this great situational spot for the home team. Play the Miami Marlins.
