Padres vs Marlins Prediction

Perez is a good young pitcher who is worth consideration in the underdog role. The Marlins are also still fighting. The problem is the Marlins keep losing games and look like a team that’s run out of gas. The Padres are as hot as any team in baseball, and they’re inching closer toward a playoff spot. These are two teams heading in completely different directions with a week left to play. The only option here is to side with the Padres and the reasonable price.
