Marlins vs Cubs MLB Free Pick June 5, 2017 – Jesse Schule

Free MLB Pick Cubs vs Marlins,  June 5, 2017.

The Cubs host Miami in Game 1 of a three game set at Wrigley tonight, and these two teams are a lot closer than most would have expected. The Fish have won seven of eight while the Cubs have lost six of their last nine overall.

Dan Straily will toe the slab for the Fish, and he’s been dealing. Straily (4-3, 3.56 ERA) struck out 10 batters while allowing just one earned run in a home win over Philly his last time out. He’s won three straight starts, and two of his last three on the road.

The Cubs hand the ball to Eddie Butler, who was roughed up in San Diego in his last start. Butler (2-1, 4.42 ERA) allowed six runs on seven hits and three walks over just 4 1/3 innings in a 6-2 loss at PETCO. He’s really struggled with his control, walking 13 batters in just 18 innings pitched over four starts.

The Marlins are 6-1 in their last seven games versus a right-handed starter, and they’ve hammered Butler in the past. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 12.46 ERA lifetime versus the Fish.

Take MIA.
