Miami Marlins vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’ll take a stab on the Marlins. Cabrera does need a good bounce-back start, though. In his last outing versus the Phillies, Cabrera took a loss with six earned in 4.0 innings of work. Cabrera was pitching better previous to that though, with 12.0 clean frames across two starts.

On Monday the Marlins had a handful of rough innings on the mound. That said, the offense had a solid outing overall, with everyone getting a hit except for Jake Burger (0-for-5). Cabrera needs a quality outing along with a much better bullpen performance Tuesday.
