Tampa Bay Rays vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the Rays here. I just don’t trust this Marlins lineup even though they’ve had sustained success as of late. They’re still the worst lineup in baseball against left-handed pitching and are offloading an already depleted lineup. The Rays selling doesn’t make sense to me as this Tampa Bay team was in a position to fight for a playoff spot, but even with pieces sold, I think there’s enough here for the Rays to take down Miami. Give me the Rays.
