Miami Marlins vs. Texas Rangers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Marlins here. I get why the Rangers would be favored as Adam Mazur’s been nothing to write home about this season. However, the Rangers continue to dig their own grave as their wild card hopes fade, and I just can’t back them or lay any kind of price in their current form. I think the Marlins continue to hold some value, so I’m going to side with Miami in this one.
