Ryan Peipot has been good heading into this game and he’s going to lockdown in this game. Peipot sits with an ERA of 1.29 and he’s going to lock down the Marlins here. The Marlins bats are going to be ice cold here, and they are going to struggle to score even a couple of runs. This is going to be an easy victory for the Dodgers. Back the Dodgers on the money line.
