San Diego Padres vs. Miami Marlins Prediction
I’m on the Marlins in this one. I keep saying the losing skid can’t last forever and I think this is a good spot for it to end. JP Sears has been inconsistent for the Padres and the Marlins are still an improved team against lefties in 2026 compared to what we’ve seen in past seasons. Perez has been great in July and has been better at home this season and I think Miami gets it done here. Give me the Marlins.
