Dodgers vs Marlins Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I try not to always jump onto pitchers making their season debut midseason, especially arms like Gonsolin, who has had an even more extended layoff. However, the Marlins are sliding right now, and Gonsolin has the benefit of having an explosive Dodger batting lineup to back him up. Miami will have plenty of opportunities to provide betting value for us this season, but I just think this has blowout potential here. Give me the Dodgers.
