Shane’s Free Pick
In Game 1 it’s going to be the Marlins that are going to find success. Sandy Alcantara is going to lockdown the Guaridans offense and that is going to be the difference as they are going to get the job done. Back the Marlins.
In Game 2, it’s going to be a lower-scoring game. Both of these offenses really can’t be trusted, and that makes betting on the side a hard task. These are both offenses that have had issues scoring headingi nto this game, and it will be no different. Back the under.
