Marlins vs Giants Prediction
The Giants continue to disappoint, and they’re just not a team I’m excited to get behind. McDonald has been hittable this season with a 4.64 ERA and 1.29 WIP through 42.2 innings. Meyer should be an all-star this season with a 2.75 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 85 innings. The Marlins are 8-1 in Meyer’s last 9 starts. In 45.2 innings, Meyer has a 1.97 ERA and a .185 batting average allowed. The Marlins are this feisty team that’s gaining confidence. They’ll be a team to watch down the stretch. Give me the fish and a more than reasonable price.
