Miami Marlins vs Athletics Prediction

We’re getting plus money with the Marlins, the team that was the best in all of baseball in June. The Marlins are a game out of a wild card spot. Perkins shouldn’t be favored against anybody with his 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. He’s allowed 24 hits and 17 runs in his last 23 innings. At home through 30.1 innings, Perkins has a 6.23 ERA and a .248 allowed batting average. I’m not betting against the Marlins, and the more favorable price as this team continues to stack wins.
