Mariners vs Marlins Prediction
I’m backing the Marlins here. I get the reasoning for the Mariners being favored at home here, but you could make a strong argument that Meyer has been Miami’s ace to this point in the year, and I don’t think it’s really been close. I still have my concerns about the Mariners’ offense with consistency, and while 14 runs in a game is nice, I think Meyer is going to provide a much stiffer test. I think the Marlins win the series here at a great price. Give me Miami.
