Athletics vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I considered the Marlins and the plus money because of the way they won yesterday. That can have a carryover effect, and it could be tough for the Athletics to get off the canvas after losing on a walkoff homer. However, Cabrera has been awful this season, allowing 22 hits and 15 runs in 18.2 innings while also walking 11. Sears has allowed 25 hits and nine runs in his last 27 innings. In 24.2 road innings, Sears has a 2.19 ERA and a .207 allowed batting average. Two pitchers are heading in different directions. Also, the Athletics have simply played the better baseball overall. The Marlins haven’t won two straight games since April 21-22. Give me the A’s and the cheap price for a series win over the Marlins.
