Matchup History

Trends
Miami is 4-0 in their last 4 road games and 8-2 in their last 10 games overall while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 interleague games. Cleveland is 11-5 in their last 16 interleague games and 20-7 in their last 27 game three matchups while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the Marlins here. I just don’t know what to expect from Logan Allen in his major league debut, even if he had solid numbers at the AAA level. Miami’s been playing some solid baseball over the last couple of weeks and while I like the Guardians in the AL Central this season, they’re just not there right now and usually start out slow. I’ll side with the Marlins and the value here.
