Pick
I’m backing the Marlins here. I’m just not sold on Dylan Cease this season and Eury Perez has started to pick up some solid performances. Sure, you could call into question the level of competition, but it’s not like the White Sox are lighting the world ablaze with their hitting against righties. I think the Marlins show tremendous value here and I’ll back them for a nice road win.
