Mariners vs Marlins Prediction

Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings but the Marlins are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Miami.

In this Mariners vs Marlins Prediction, the Mariners are coming as -130 road favorites. The Marlins have been rolling lately with four consecutive wins where they have scored 34 total runs. They are going for a bullpen game, but they are top-10 in baseball in bullpen ERA and they are the 5^th-best team against right-handed pitching in the month of July, while the Mariners second to last. Kirby has given up 3+ runs in six of his last 8 starts for the Mariners so I like the Marlins are home dogs in this spot. Take them on the moneyline for plus money.
