I would take the under if the total is set at 8. Miami's pitching staff has limited opponents to a .228 batting average this season, while the Marlins own a solid 4.14 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. With both teams averaging modest run production relative to many clubs around the league, this matchup could trend toward a lower-scoring game.
