LA Dodgers vs Miami Marlins Prediction 

This game is going to be high-scoring. McCaughan has had some major issues this season and in his last start, he gave up six hits and three runs. Miller gets the start for the Dodgers and he was also awful in the last game. The Marlins offense is going to bounce back here, and that will be the difference here as this game is going to end up being higher scoring. Back the over to cash.
