Marlins vs Dodgers Prediction
Give me the Dodgers here, even if you have to lay a bit of juice. The Marlins are sending Cal Quantrill to the mound, and that is bad news for their chances. He sits with an ERA of 8.10, and he’s going to be blown up here. Tony Gonsolin hasn’t been as dominant, but unless he’s giving up six or seven runs here, it’s not going to matter; the Dodgers will get the job done. Back the Dodgers to get the job done on the run line.
