OUR PICK: The Marlins have been an awful play in Pittsburgh, losing 11 of 12 on the road versus the Pirates. They’re also just 6-14 in their last 20 games overall versus the Pirates and have lost four straight with Koehler on the mound when he faces Pittsburgh. The Pirates have struggled to win with Cole on the mound (they’re just 2-7 in his last nine starts), but Pittsburgh is no less a solid runline option tonight.
