Yankees vs Marlins Prediction
I understand the skepticism when it comes to the Marlins, as they didn’t have the toughest schedule to start the season. This is a measuring stick series to get a better outlook on this club. It’s the home opener for a Yankees team that’s been dealing through six games. However, the Marlins look like a team that can make us money this season the same way they did a year ago. Also, we’re getting 1.5 times our money with the better pitcher. Eury Perez has to stay healthy, but he has ace-caliber stuff. I’m grabbing the plus money with the fish, as the value is too good to pass up.
