Castano will make his sixth start of the season on Tuesday after getting lit up by the New York Mets in his previous start. He'll face a Pirates club that ranks 28th in runs per nine and OPS and sits 29th in batting average. Look for the Marlins' lefty to shake off his last start and have more success against a bad Pittsburgh lineup.Chris Stratton gets the call for Pittsburgh, and he'll be making his first start of the season. He's featured in relief this year and holds a 5.14 ERA in 35 relief innings. The fact that he's starting means his bullpen, which ranks third-worst in ERA and fourth-worst in WHIP, will be asked to record a lot of outs.Look for the Marlins lineup that is slightly below average to overcome their recent struggles at the plate in the second game of this series.Miami Marlins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Match DetailsFixture: Pittsburgh Pirates @ Miami MarlinsDate & Time: Tuesday, July 12, 6:40 p.m. ETVenue: LoanDepot Park, Miami, FloridaMiami Marlins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Betting OddsTeamMoney LineSpreadOver/UnderPittsburgh Pirates+130+1.5 (-154)Over 8.5 (-106)Miami Marlins-154-1.5 (+145)Under 8.5 (-114)Even though the Pirates are 6-2 in the last eight matchups, the Marlins are 16-5 in their previous 21 games as the favored club.
