Corey's Free Pick
Miami flexed a little in game one, and I think they will earn their fourth straight victory here. The Marlins are finding production through the lineup, and there’s a chance they could make things tough for Ryne Nelson here in South Beach. Miami has a perfect storm of advantages headed into this matchup, so roll with them Saturday.
