Marlins vs Royals Prediction
Bubic has been one of the better pitchers this season, as he was an all-start, and his ERA is top-10 in the sport. Junk is having a ridiculous month of July, where he’s allowed 12 hits and two earned runs in 19 innings. The under is worth a look. However, as I said yesterday, the Marlins are a young scrappy team that’s oozing confidence and just finding ways to win. The Marlins have beaten the Royals twice now in last second fashion, and the crowd is starting to be a factor. The Marlins are becoming a fun team to watch. Give me the fish for the sweep.
