Detroit Tigers vs. Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I just don’t trust either side in this game, from a starting pitching perspective, as Morton’s been hit by the Marlins in his career, who have been better against righties this season, and Junk has been regressing since a hot start to the year. All in all, I think we’ve got a high-scoring game here, so give me the over.
