Marlins vs Athletics Prediction

I’m siding with the Athletics here. I just feel like the Athletics are in better form right now, and the Marlins are just in a free fall at the moment. Meyer is arguably Miami’s staff ace so far this season, but I can’t help but feel like even for being an ace, there’s still going to be a lot of games where he and the team fall flat. Right now, the Marlins just look like they’re in one of those funks. I’ll roll with the Athletics on the road for another W on Saturday.
