San Francisco Giants vs. Miami Marlins Prediction
I’m on the under in this game. This is just a low-scoring series that has seen 3 runs plated so far and I think a similar result could be on the horizon here. Birdsong has been solid in a relief role and then as a starter and I think he could keep the Marlins in check. On the other side, the Giants just can’t score right now, and Ryan Weathers has been outstanding out of the gate so far this year to where I think he can stymie the Giants’ bats once again and the under cashes here. Give me the under.
