Miami Marlins vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers -1.5 here. Alcantara is the Marlins’ ace, but he has had major issues against the Dodgers in his career and struggled against them big time last season, including 7 runs in 2.2 innings in this ballpark last year. Glasnow at times can be overpriced in his starts, but I think he does enough for the Dodgers to back him up and get the win on the -1.5 run line. Give me the Dodgers -1.5.
