Cleveland Guardians vs. Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m on the Marlins here. I get the case to be made for Cleveland off of the win on Friday, and Tanner Bibee for me is an ace calibre starter in Cleveland’s rotation, but the results haven’t been there for Bibee this season as the Guardians haven’t backed him up in a lot of spots and Eury Perez on the other side has been far stronger at home this season. Perez is also coming off of a strong start in his last outing and the Marlins haven’t stayed down for long when they’ve been knocked down in the last month over this hot streak. Give me Miami.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Miami -115
