Miami Marlins vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The San Diego Padres are the hottest team in baseball and need to stay that way, as they’re now in the thick of the NL West race. Dylan Cease is a strikeout machine, and he’s going up against a Marlins’ lineup that traded away all their key players. Max Meyer doesn’t have the sample size to trust in these sorts of spots. The Padres should produce the sweep. Give me the Padres and the RL for max betting value.
