He is coming off of a start where he allowed 3 earned runs and he has not been pitching well on the road this season either. He has allowed at least 2 earned runs in 5 of his last 6 road starts and has also allowed at least 4 earned runs in half of those. The Marlins have been playing very well recently with their offense scoring more runs and they are no pushover at home either, they will get to Verlander for some runs with the way he has been pitching on the road this season. Jesús Luzardo is starting for the Marlins here and he is 8-7 with a 3.91 ERA this season. He has been good this season but recently he has been unraveling in his starts as he allowed 7 earned runs in his last start and has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts. He has not been good at home recently either as he allowed those 7 earned runs in his last start at home and has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 2 starts. The Astros have also been scoring a lot of runs recently as their offense has been heating up and they are going to come to play as they try to catch the Rangers in 1st of the AL West. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
