Dodgers vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Dodgers and have won two of their last three meetings in Miami.
In this Dodgers vs Marlins Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -150 road favorites. I like the Dodgers in a bounce-back spot today, as they will face a struggling Eury Perez, who despite his good numbers in the season, has been in terrible form and has given up 16 runs across his last three starts. Sheehan has given up one run in two of his last three starts and the Dodgers have both a superior bullpen ERA and a better offense in their last five games. Take the Dodgers on the moneyline in this one.
