Pick
I’m backing the Marlins here. I like Patrick Sandoval, as he can be a very tough lefty, but the problem here is that the Marlins have been really good against lefties over the last couple of weeks and the Angels have been hit or miss in spots. Eury Perez is a young pitcher, but he’s shown some solid stuff and the Marlins’ bats have come to play as of late and I think the Marlins have the value here so I’ll take Miami.
