Miami Marlins vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Alcantara’s a decent option but there’s been spots where he’s been hittable on the road and I think the Marlins can get to him for a few runs, but I also think the Marlins, who have been arguably the hottest hitting lineup in baseball over the last month, can get to Aaron Civale who has been trash in this hitter’s haven in Sacramento. Give me the over here.
