Diamondbacks vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins just aren’t a backable team these days, as they look like a young team that’s run out of gas. Junk has been hittable this season, and he’s fresh off allowing 8 hits and 8 runs in 3 innings against the Mets. The Diamondbacks are fighting for their playoff lives, and Soroka has been solid this season, especially at home, where he has a 2.73 ERA and a .242 allowed batting average. The price isn’t too crazy. I’ll roll with the Diamondbacks at home on Tuesday night.
