Once again, the algorithm will target the Miami Marlins, with Jesus Luzardo beginning this matchup in the top of the first inning.

In the first inning this season, Luzardo has a .60 ERA in collaboration with a .53 WHIP through 15.0 innings pitched.

NRFI Today - Miami Marlins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction

Luzardo will face the Pittsburgh Pirates here, as this team is coming off ten straight losses. In these ten games, the Pirates' offense has cashed the NRFI 8/10 times while going 5-0 in their last five games. With their best hitter, Bryan Reynolds, out for the season, look for Luzardo to hush these bats for the first three outs of the game. 

Next, the Miami Marlins will step up to the plate against Luis Ortiz of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ortiz is a respectable 4-3 to the NRFI, but his pitching splits will place him in a more comfortable position to record three outs. Ortiz has a four-pitch selection with a fastball/sinker combination that sits at 96.1 MPH, along with a slider that has a whiff % of 35.2%. 

As Ortiz takes over on the mound, he will battle against the dead-last first-inning offense in Major League Baseball. The Marlins this season at home are an overall 33-5 (87%) to the NRFI. Along with this first-inning split, the Marlins have cashed all five of their last five NRFIs while going 9-1 to the NRFI in their last ten games. Look for Ortiz to face this horrid offense and cash in on a successful no-run first inning.
