Rangers vs Marlins Prediction
The Rangers are having a rough week that’s pretty much played them out of the playoff race. I’m not eager to get behind Kelly, who has allowed 30 hits and 13 runs in his last 22 innings. Perez has been hit or miss this season, and he’s been hit hard on the road, but it doesn’t matter. The Marlins are a scrappy, young team that’s playing hard and appears to want to finish the season strong. Sometimes you find teams that play through the finish line and enjoy the spoiler role. The Marlins look like one of those teams. Give me the fish for another win, as the Rangers watch their season crash and burn.
