This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Miami Marlins.

It's a battle of "aces" on Tuesday night as Gerrit Cole and the high-powered Pirates are in Miami to take on red hot Jose Fernandez and the Marlins. Cole (5-3, 2.53 ERA) gave up one unearned run off seven hits and three walks in five innings on Thurday vs. Arizona. Cole had failed to record a strikeout in his previous start, so it was a step in the right direction once again. Fernandez (7-2, 2.82) would pitch seven innings and give up just a single run off six hits while walking one and striking out 12 in a victory over Tampa Bay on Thursday. Fernandez has been unstoppable in May, he's won all five of his starts and gave up more than one run in just one of those outings. His 90:15 K:BB and 2.82 ERA are amongst the best in the league. We think Fernandez has the upper hand at home and that Cole's recent struggles with strikeouts comes back to bite him. Great value on Fernandez and the MARLINS.
