Mariners vs Marlins Prediction
I’m going to take a shot on the Marlins in this one. Luis Castillo is still viewed as the ace or one of the better arms in this Seattle rotation. However, the Marlins have better bats and have been more competitive than I would’ve given them credit for coming into the year, and I’m still not fully sold on this Mariner offense being legit all of a sudden. Give me the Marlins and the plus money here.
