Tampa Bay Rays vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I’ll take a stab on the Marlins. Luzardo had a bit of a shaky outing in his last start, going 6.0 innings with three earned on seven hits and two walks in a loss to the Padres. Prior to that however, Luzardo went 2-0 with zero earned in 14.0 innings on eight hits and no walks in two starts. As for Pepiot, he’s given up eight earned runs over his last 11.2 innings total.

Miami’s bats really need to get going in this one. The Marlins managed 17 runs in two games late last week, but since then they’ve been outscored 13-0 in two games. Provided Miami can get some offense on the board Luzardo should put them in a winning position.
