Pittsburgh Pirates @ Miami Marlins Preview: Sunday, July 28 1:10 PM EST (Game 102)

The Miami Marlins have to feel good about their chances of picking up a series win against the contending Pittsburgh Pirates going into Sunday’s game. They have their best hitter (Giancarlo Stanton) on a roll and their best pitcher (Jose Fernandez) on the mound.

Unfortunately, it won’t be an easy task, as the Pirates also have a highly touted prospect going for them. That would be Gerrit Cole, who came into the season ranked among the best prospects, like Fernandez, in baseball.
