New York is now third in the AL East standings, and they are starting Gil, who is a solid pitcher but hasn’t pitched in the MLB in a while. The Marlins are going with Cabrera, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Miami has the advantage on the mound and all of the momentum, so I like them to win again.
