Rangers vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins have won their last three meetings against the Rangers, but have lost their last two meetings in Miami.
In this Rangers vs Marlins Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -130 home favorites. I like the Marlins in this one, even though they will be going for a bullpen game, as their bullpen ranks 4th in ERA so far. Kumar Rocker is not a pitcher I would trust, especially on the road and against a Marlins team that has won four straight and has been very strong at home. Take the Marlins to win this one.
