Dodgers vs Marlins Prediction
This is an interesting series because the Marlins will be money-makers this season due to constantly being undervalued in the market. The Dodgers will be losers long-term due to the inflated lines. With that said, I’m rolling with the Dodgers in game 1 of this series. Paddack has been a disaster with his 6.38 ERA and 1.54 WHIP, and he’s not going to find his footing against this Dodgers lineup. Yamamoto picked up where he left off in the World Series with his 2.48 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. This is a mismatch across the board. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
